Previous dance and gymnastic experience is helpful but not necessary.

This is an intense and demanding Intermediate Level Camp for older/more experienced students;
with more introductory and less challenging opportunities for younger and less experienced students in the morning sessions.

(ability to focus important for all ages & experience levels)

All students will be part of the final production.

students, coached by Taryn Noelle, lift another student (lying perpeniduclar to the floor) in a danceContemporary dance requires you to bring the emotional life front & center, which is why it works so well combined with acting!
Come away with new dance moves, increased capacity for self-expression, and storytelling skills.
Focusing our work on Winnie The Pooh stories and characters broadens our storytelling and self-expression into the worlds of comedy & slapstick.

"Poetry and Hums aren’t things which you get, they’re things which get you.
And all you can do is to go where they can find you.”   

The emphasis is on skill development and creativity in a supportive, professional environment, culminating in an original, fully-staged, public performance of  "Back To the 100-Acre-Wood": a winnie-the-pooh revue"- inspired by the stories of AA Milne.
The best loved stories and characters of all time from Winnie the Pooh and House at Pooh Corner are included.

Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore, Tigger, Kanga, Roo, Owl, Rabbit, Christopher Robin, and the Heffalump, among others!

“I always get to where I’m going by walking from where I’ve been.”

The story will follow the adventures - and misadventures  - of Pooh and the Gang as they try to evade baths, catch the heffalump and check on their friends!Taryn adjusts young actors posture during camp
