Dear all,
We are happy to announce that 5 Master Teachers will participate in our Summer Camp and share their experience and choreography with our students. This is a great opportunity to learn and expand knowledge and creative ideas. Three contemporary teachers with different styles will choreograph one dance each week and at the end of the third week on the last Friday we will perform the final summer camp showcase with a full ballet class and pointe work. Two ballet teachers will be cleaning our ballet technique and giving us their adjustments. I am sorry, all of this was organized a little late but I still hope you can rearrange your plans and join this amazing experience that we never had before.
