This is an intense and demanding Intermediate Level Camp - that meets students where they are, yet encourages them to (safely) reach new levels they didn't think they were capable of attaining.
Work with dedicated professionals and other eager students .
Led by Taryn Noelle (choreographer/director) and Tim Guiles (musical director)
All students will be part of the final production.
(auditions for specific roles will be included as part of the workshop process.)
Contemporary 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 Frozen Jr. characters broadens our storytelling and self-expression into the worlds of comedy & slapstick.
The music is specially arranged for younger voices.
"Some people are worth melting for." -Olaf
