Taught and created by Lorelei Chang, this camp is for adventurous children ages 6 – 11. This year Ms. Chang has re-created her summer dance camp with a lot of exciting activities that fit the many interests of young minds with a focus on the creative side of dance. A different theme each day will be described in detail in advance so that students can prepare and participate before they come to camp each day.
