News from The Mill Ballet School - June 27, 2008

The Mill Ballet School’s Summer Junior Dance Camps offer a great opportunity to build friendships and explore the creative world of dance.

The Mill Ballet School's Junior Dance Camp was created to give young artistic students a chance to experience dance from learning the technique to performing it. Students will participate in stretch, improvisation, ballet, theater jazz, music, acting, set and prop design with dance games and lunchtime surprises. During camp students will see how their knowledge of dance technique can be used to create dances. As their knowledge of dance grows, so does their ability to create. The camp is theme based, giving the students a story board or an idea in which to choreograph their dance. The theme of the first week is "Metamorphosis," focusing on the understanding and celebration of changes. The second week is "Planting a Rainbow," focusing on colors and how we are as vibrant and different as the colors of a rainbow. The goal of The Mill Ballet School's camp is to provide a life-long memorable experience while enhancing each student's overall dance education and appreciation.

Students may register for one week or two weeks. At the end of each week, parents and siblings attend an afternoon performance showcasing the students’ accomplishments.

Tuition is $350 for one week and $600 for two weeks. A $100 deposit and a $30 registration fee are due upon registration.  Registration is available by mail, by phone, or online at the school's website, www.millballetschool.com
