Summer Dance Camp 2009
The Ballet Guild of Ithaca offers 27 years experience training dancers in our annual Summer Day Camp for dancers from 8 to 18 years old. Summer camp dancers receive three to four classes a day in dance technique including daily ballet class and daily pointe technique (where applicable), and modern and jazz class three days a week. In addition campers take character dance, stretch, conditioning and composition class, where students learn to create their own choreography. Plus, advanced dancers learn variations from the Classical Repertoire.
Our training provides a solid foundation in correct, classical ballet, combined with modern and jazz for added strength, versatility and freedom of movement.
