July 5 - July 16
August 2 - August 13
Registration On-Line
We invite you to join the Latin
Ballet of Virginia
for a summer filled with rhythms, dancing
and fun!
The Latin Ballet of Virginia is proud to present the
fifth annual,
"Be Proud of Yourself Day Camp". Our primary
goal is to provide learning in
an exciting and interesting format. We strongly
believe in the arts’ ability to inspire a child’s creative
self-expression and intellectual growth. Students develop notable
self-confidence, a sense of discipline and the joy of sharing skills;
discovering a greater regard for dance and connecting dance forms to
specific language and culture.
The "Be Proud of Yourself Day Camp", is for children
ages
5- 16, Mondays through Fridays, from 9 am to 4 pm, at The
Cultural Arts Center of Glen Allen. Each camp is held for two
weeks, and includes classes that explore various dance techniques including
ballet, Latin jazz, modern and hip- hop, plus other classes such as dance
history, creative movement, drums and percussion, arts and crafts, and much
more.
Our unique program is taught by professional
dancers and musicians, of the Latin Ballet of Virginia, who have
years of performance and teaching experience to share with each student. The
Cultural Arts Center at Glen Allen, the home of the Latin Ballet of
Virginia, is a facility unlike any other in the Richmond area. Classes are
held in professional dance studios and art rooms, and the end of every
two-week session will culminate in a performance by
the students, on the Cultural Arts Center at Glen Allen stage,
incorporating what they have learned throughout the camp.
All students need to bring lunch and snacks.
Any color and style leotard and exercise clothes, Ballet shoes,
Jazz
sneakers or Jazz shoes are necessary for the dance classes.
An old t-shirt will be necessary for the Arts and Crafts classes.
A sweat-shirt to warm up after exercising (some times the air conditioner
during the summer
time can be very cold after cooling off exercises).
Children can be dropped off as early as 8:30 AM and be
picked up as late as
5 p.m.
