LSSU Summer Dance Intensive (Camp)

(at right) Dancers in the LSSU Edventures Dance Camp pose just before their dance showing at the conclusion of their five days of dance on campus. Students took daily classes in ballet and modern and worked extensively on choreography and improvisation work. (From left to right if you can include the names: Samantha LaFarge, Sydney Langendorf, Nadia Chupka, Susan Drockton, Madison Metheny and Elizabeth Blose)  

Our instructors will help each dancer hone their skills in Ballet/Pointe and concentrate on their strength and flexibility. Proper technique will be stressed. The modern dance emphasis will be on kinesthetic movement, emotion based movement, and applied in floor and partner work. The choreography portion will give all dancers opportunities to create art; movement, and dances. Dancers will come to understand and use the qualities and elements of movement and that choreography is not just arranging, but composing. Repertory will allow students to recreate the dances of the LSSU Dance Company repertoire and also a venue for putting their own works on stage. Students should bring as many dance shoes as they have, ballet, pointe, jazz, tap etc. We will wrap up the week with a final performance at the LSSU Fine Arts Center. Dress code for ballet class: Females – black leotard, pink tights, black skirts allowed; Males – black tights, white t-shirt. Wrap up the week with a final performance at the LSSU Fine Arts Center.
