July 1 - 5, July 15 - 19 | Ages 4-6 | 9 am - 12 noon | $195
WEEK 1 HAS 2 SPOTS LEFT, WEEK 2 IS FULL!
Once upon a time… there lived a little dancer who dreamed of leaping and galloping around the world, sprinkling fairy dust and glitter on all the children’s feet, to make their dancing dreams come true.
There’s nothing better than exploring a Ballet Story theme each week in our Fairy Tale Pre-Ballet Camp. Dancers will begin their day with pre-ballet movement, while activating their imagination through reading a book, watching a professional performance, creating costumes/props, and rehearsing for their performance at the end of the week.
A snack is provided each day. Families are invited to attend a performance held on Friday.
