Kids and teens receive dedicated ballet training at specialised ballet camps. Basic movements such as plié, sauté, and pirouettes are introduced in beginner classes. Barre and floor exercises are also important at beginner stages, as it warms up the body and develops children’s flexibility. In intermediate camps, leaps, turns, and other fun movements may be added to the repertoire.
Balance, control, and gracefulness are all qualities of a good ballet dancer. Through exercises and routines, kids increase flexibility and gain physical skills. Over the duration of camp, kids pick up on ballet terminology and gain deeper exposure to classical music, which they dance to. Conditioning exercises are often part of ballet camps. These strengthen dancers’ bodies, and also help prevent injury.
All ballet programs are coeducational. Partnered or group dances are commonly found in these camps. Prices for ballet camps begin at $120.
Advanced ballet camps at esteemed dance institutions begin with pre-primary training. In this, they learn the absolute fundamentals of ballet identified by professional dance academies. These programs give children a foundation to grow as dancers, helping aspiring professional dancers grow and develop. They may also include training in poise, as well as audition preparation.
Some advanced camps also include more than one dance style within their curriculum. Dance styles such as acro or jazz, which require the same amount of flexibility and gracefulness as ballet, often accompany ballet training. This expands children’s dance repertoire and strengthens their rhythm and flexibility skills.
Ballet camps give aspiring dancers a unique set of dance and life skills. Here are some things children gain from time in ballet camps:
