Join us this summer for a Ballet Day Camp! This intensive is especially intended for little ones who love to dance!  Creative Movement Ballet is centered around; spatial awareness, improving balance, coordination skills, memorization skills, musical awareness, stretching & socializing all while creating art and getting exercise. The Creative Movement Program will help to establish discipline in a classroom setting, allowing your little one to grow in a fun and positive environment. Our daily itinerary will continue as follows; Dancers will arrive 5-10 minutes early so they may use the restroom and put on their ballet slippers with a parent/guardian. At 9am the first class of the day will begin! In class we will start with stretches, strengthening and get to know you games.  We will talk about musical qualities and how to dance to them; we will recite and practice simple ballet steps and fundamental positions of the feet and arms. Next we’ll play a short warm-up game that allows the dancers to get their wiggles out and explore their dance space. The middle portion of class will shift back into a structured set of activities; we’ll learn multiple traveling steps, use instruments, and take turns dancing across the floor one at a time. Class will conclude with a game of freeze dance! After class, we will have a short lunch break along with a video from an iconic story ballet such as; Cinderella, The Sleeping Beauty, Swan Lake and Alice in Wonderland. After lunch, we will work on an educational craft!  One day we will get to decorate a real Pointe Shoe! To conclude the day, we will learn original choreography! Class will end for the day at 11:00am, where dancers will be expected to be picked up on time. At the conclusion of the workshop, we will have a free performance to showcase everything we learned, the dancer’s art will be displayed and parents can take photos afterwards! We’d love to dance with you this summer! 

The recommended experience levels for this intensive program is for dancers with little or no experience up to three years of experience or ages 3-7 years old. Those who are enrolled in RBA’s Pre Ballet & TIny Tots classes are of course welcome! Everyone must be potty trained to attend. There must be a parent/guardian waiting in the lobby or in the parking lot the entire duration of the workshop… This is to assist your dancer’s with bathroom trips, behavioral assistance and emotional support.  Dancers are required to pack a lunch and bring a spill-proof water bottle everyday.
