No Regrets: The Basics of Performing Is your child a triple threat? Would they like the opportunity to become one? Look no further. No Regrets is a performance based group that will focus on dancing and singing numbers. Even if the student isn’t the strongest vocalist or dancer, there is a place they belong. You will have the opportunity to learn jazz, character, hip-hop, modern, elements of lyrical and tap dancing styles. There will be large group numbers as well as smaller ensembles. My approach to dance is to teach as many styles of dance as I can as well as to blend styles to make the students more versatile performers. This is a great way for your child or self to gain self-confidence and have fun while doing so. By the end of the season you will have learned enough routines to perform the show. This class meets once a week for 4 weeks. Instructor: Stephanie Arganbright Location: Dance Studio Note: NO CLASS ON 7/4 AND 8/1.

Students will start each day with warm-ups and theatre games, followed by short skits presented by fellow campers and staff that relate to the previous or current day’s lessons. Students will then work on acting skills, focusing on establishing the “building blocks” of acting and creating characters. After a lunch break, students will have supervised recreational time before heading into the art studios. Students will explore artistic interpretation and create theatre related projects such as props, masks and puppets. On alternating days, campers will participate in singing or dance movement. A curriculum-related movie will be shown on the big screen on Fridays. Before the end of the day, campers will break into groups and work with staff members on skits and acting exercises that explore the lessons of the day. During the last week, campers will take what they have learned and create an invitational showcase for friends and family and perform on the evening of the last Friday.
