2012 Summer Dance Intensive has been awesome. We have an excellent group of girls this summer (this summer being our first summer). Some have experience and some don’t have so much.  This dance camp starts at 8oclock sharp, Mon – Fri.  We begin class on barres, including, positions, focusing on technique, and going through combinations.  Then we do floors combined with some serious stretching.  Then we have lyrical training, with an intense modern work out. Right after lyrical, the kids eat lunch. Then we do basic tap exercises, and practice our tap number. We end each day with Hip-hop, the kid’s favorite. 

The girls have learned about FIVE different routine, one or two for just about each genre. They have come soooo far in such a short period of time. 

These little dancers have been arriving at the studio rather promptly for the most part.  Eight o’clock in the morning is a pretty early time; some of them come in cranky, and some come in excited and ready to dance.  What they don’t know, and only you readers know, are that I have been paying very close attention to their attitude towards dance.  Two of them will be receiving scholarships to be a dancer at the studio for free, come September.  I’ll keep you all posted on who I chose.  Obviously, this person arrives on time, has a positive attitude towards dance, works hard consistently throughout the day, is a pleasure to be around, and is encouraging to others.
