DanceStars Junior Summer School
We welcomed 36 enthusiastic young dancers to our 2016 Junior Summer School...
The dancers aged 7-11 enjoyed 3 energetic days of dance classes which included daily technique lessons in both ballet and jazz as well as workshops in acrobatics and musical theatre. They also had a daily arts'n'craft session to create the scenery and props for their performance at the end of the course. Our 2016 theme was a 'Space Journey' and they created a fantastic piece which combined elements of drama, singing, jazz, acro and ballet.
CSBS teacher Sammy taught ballet, jazz and acrobatics while Amanda taught ballet, jazz, drama / musical theatre and arts'n'craft; they were assisted by student teacher Amber.
At the end of the third day, the children received a souvenir t-shirt for the performance. The audience members had to scan their tickets at our high-tech 'security checkpoint' before either being allowed access or having to go through the decontamination chamber before watching the performance. Every 'space trooper' was presented with a specially designed certficate of attendance.
