Dance Camp

The theme of this week's dance camp is "Exploring Dance." While this one is a homeschooling camp, we will be running it again as a summer camp in July. Each day, the students get a brief history lesson in a particular style of dance, and then take a class in that style. So far we've done ballet, jazz, and modern. These photos are from the jazz class.


Tomorrow we do tap, and Friday is ballroom, which Mr T and I will teach together. It's been a blast planning this camp, and the kids seem to be having a good time. I will be interested to ask them at the end which styles they liked best and why. I am finding that music and speed make more of an impression than actual dance steps. So something upbeat to music they like is more fun even if the steps aren't exciting. But a fabulous combination to music they don't like doesn't hold their attention.


Just look at those faces! I couldn't ask for more enthusiastic students!
