^{INFORMATION PACKET}

PROGRAM DATES: JULY 8-AUGUST 2, 2024

SUMMER GEMS MISSION:

Is to elevate each dancer to their fullest potential physically, mentally and technically. Every dancer goes through stages and has a place to start and a goal to reach. We are dedicated to the development and growth of every dancer that enters this program and will help them to reach their personal goals. Students will leave with increased confidence, self-esteem, knowledge of dance and the Arts as well as improved technique. They will also have the opportunity to build strong friendships!

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:

This is a 4-week summer program designed and geared toward female students ages 7-14 who show great interest in dance and the Performing Arts.

The program offers classes in Ballet, Contemporary, Tap, Hip-Hop, West African, Afro-Caribbean & Liturgical dance. Campers will perform at the end of the 4 weeks for family and friends.
