2011 Summer Dance Program

Please join us for our 2011 Summer Dance Program! The Ballet Guild of Ithaca brings more than 29 years of experience to training dancers in our annual summer program 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, in which students learn to create their own choreography. Advanced dancers also 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. Dancers do not need prior ballet experience to attend. Class placement will be made on the first day of camp. Dates for Camp 2011: One 6-week session: June 27- August 5 Two 3-week sessions: June 27 - July 15 or July 18 - August 5 Half-day session: June 27 - August 5 (ages 16 & up only) Dancers 16 years and older may attend half days (9:00 - 11:00 AM), although dancers who attend full-day will gain more strength, flexibility and technique.
