Dance camps: what are they?
Dance camps are creative programmes where participants build their movement, their sense of rhythm and their physical expression.
The activities put technical training together with exploring styles and making choreography.
Participants work on their own and in groups towards moments on stage.
What they are after is better coordination, more invention and confidence in how they move.
