JULY PERFORMING ARTS CAMP
JULY DANCE INTENSIVE
Charlene has a vision to expose as many children as possible
to the art that is dance. She has witnessed first hand the
multiple benefits dance and the performing arts affords
and wants children, especially those within the Southern
region, to be exposed to quality training. In this regard, she
has dedicated her time during the July vacation period to
hosting a Performing Arts Camp at &5678 Dance Studio.
The Performing Arts Camp provides exposure to a range
of genres including modern, folk, hip hop, voice training,
drama and art and craft.
The Dance Camp is open to all interested children between
the ages of 6 -10. No prior dance training needed.
Charlene’s vision for the Dance Intensive is to provide a platform
of quality training to Caribbean senior dancers who are forced
to go abroad for advanced training and exposure to specific
styles. She notes that some dancers with extreme potential are
stunted by their inability to access sufficient financial resources
to fund their practice of dance. Further, she notes that within
her personal dance network there are master dancers who are,
primarily Caribbean born but foreign based, and who are more
than willing to give of their time to hone the skills of aspiring
Caribbean dancers. The dance intensive is meant to bridge the
gap between these two groups by providing a platform at &5678
Dance Studio. The Dance Intensive is open to dancers who
have attained a certificate from an accredited and recognized
dance institution showing that they have obtained the necessary
training equivalent to a grade 6 and upwards ballet/modern
level or equivalent.
