Each day children take a creative movement / pre-ballet class: after a short break, they will explore a classical ballet through the characters, storyline, music and mime. The stories will come alive with the students’ own natural movement and creativity. Dancers will also participate in enriching activities such as games and arts & crafts. The camp concludes with an informal mini-performance of ballet excerpts adapted to fit the age and experience level of the young dancers.
