Pre-Professional Dance Training Program

 

The CAMP Philly Pre-Professional Training Program is an after school and Saturday program, designed for school aged students through 12th grade. It offers the groundwork for aspiring students to enter Professional Training Programs and ultimately pursue careers in dance.

 

Students are placed in appropriate levels from Pre-Ballet to advanced, for maximum development. Each one-hour class, for ages 4-6 is a preparation for Ballet, with a focus on creative movement and basic classroom etiquette. Students aged 7-10 in levels I, & II are required to take one mandatory Ballet one hour class each week; they can also choose to take additional classes in Tap, Jazz and/or Modern, etc. Students in Level III are required to take two-two hour classes; a Ballet/Pointé during the fall spring sessions and one hour daily in the summer intensive.

 

We also offer Adult classes in Ballet, Tap, Jazz and Modern for those interested in attaining a healthy mind, body, and spirit.

 

Classes include Ballet, Pointe, Tap, Jazz, Modern, Dunham Praise, Acro-Dance, and special workshops. The Winter Session is 37 weeks and the Summer Theater Arts Session is for 8 weeks. Students are encouraged to attend both Winter & Summer Sessions to maximize growth. An essential element of our program is the achievement of technical proficiency and performance quality.
