Holt Ballet’s two week summer program is designed to increase the classical ballet dancer’s technique and artistry as well as offer a variety of other dance forms that inspire, inform, and motivate all dancers to try on new ideas and see how they fit. Participants can purchase both weeks for $1,150.00; one week for $600.00, Dance Camp for Youths for 225.00, or purchase as many class cards of 10 for $225.00 each.
A fun new addition to this year’s camp is our culminating performance in the Cedar Stage (across the street from us, on the Ganesh Campus grounds) where students who take the Carnival of the Animals series of classes will be performing their choreography.
The Dance Camp for Youths will learn their choreography during their week long camp July 13 – July 17, 9:00-11:30.
The performance is Friday, July 17, at 7:00.
There is a rental fee for a costume ($25) and a per family of 4 admittance fee of $25.00. Individual admittance is $10.00.
