Summer Dance Camp Memories!

It's over, formally.  Yes, Season 25 has come to a close for Daedream with the last day of Summer Dance Camp (our first little beta version) today.

Some photos to start with:

Here's what we accomplished this week:

• tracing the history of dance from the Renaissance (and before) to the present
• Viewing videos demonstrating examples of hip hop, break, pop, lock, ballet, modern, jazz and tap dancing in various forms
• Discussion of movement, emotion, choreography, strength, balance, and genre of dance
• Participation in choreography sessions for hip hop, hip hop ballet, and modern dance
• Improvisation exercises in partners, and in teams
• Demos of live dance from mentors
• Actual choreography completed for parts of Season 25's show

A great time was had by all

Happy Summer!
