goals. The Mill Ballet provides a creative, inspiring, and
supportive atmosphere in which dancers can study over the summer.

intensive dance training but will also spend the last 2 weeks

Monday - Friday - 9 am - 3 pm
Ages 6 to 10
Junior Dance Camp was created to give young artistic students a chance
to experience dance from learning the technique to performing it. All
students are divided into level and age appropriate groups and will
participate in a ballet, jazz, improvisation, theater and mime
classes. During camp students will see how their knowledge of dance
technique can be used to create dances, also known as choreography.
As their knowledge of dance grows so does their ability to create. Again this year students will have the unique opportunity to create an original painting with the guidance of well known bucks county artists that they will then bring to life through story and dance. Each years theme is completely different. In addition dance related activities
will cover topics such as music, costume, set and prop design. The goal of
our camp is to provide a life-long memorable experience while enhancing
each student's overall dance education and appreciation.
At the end of each week on Friday, parents
and siblings attend an afternoon performance showcasing the students
accomplishments. Tuition is $400, a $200 deposit and a $30 registration fee are due upon registration.
The remaining balance is due before June 1st.

camp for the energetic and creative student!
