Mill Ballet’s Dance Camp was created to give young creative students a chance to experience dance from learning the basic technique to performing it. Students will have classes in various dance forms from ballet to hip hop. During the camp students will see how their knowledge of dance technique can be used to create choreography. As their knowledge of dance grows so does their ability to create. In addition dance related activities will cover topics such as music, dance history, and costumes. Students will have fun playing dance related games and enjoying picnic lunches outside. The goal of the camp is to provide a life-long memorable experience while enhancing each student’s overall dance education and appreciation of the art.

The Mill Ballet School’s Young Dancers Workshop has been developed specifically for young dancers ages 7-10 providing them with an introduction to more serious dance training.

The goal of the workshop is to give each individual a deeper and more thorough understanding of their technique and the art of dance. While the main focus is on classical ballet, our young dancers will be exposed to other forms of dance including jazz, improv, contemporary, and flamenco.

The day will conclude with discussions in proper nutrition for young dancers, injury prevention, anatomy, and dance history along with dance videos.

Our intensive is for students who are committed to improving their dance technique. During the two week intensive students will build on their understanding of technique through detailed instruction and the breakdown of steps. PBT (progressing ballet technique) and dance conditioning will be the start of the students’ day helping them find and feel the muscles needed for proper execution of ballet and contemporary dance technique. Ballet technique, pre-pointe or pointe as well as contemporary ballet, modern, jazz, and classical variations will be part of each student’s daily schedule. The goal of the intensive is to provide each student the tools and knowledge to go to their “next level” of training.

Expand your dance knowledge and artistry through classical and contemporary choreography

The Mill Ballet School’s Choreographic Workshop has grown to be a place where young aspiring dancers can work closely with Mark and Melissa Roxey, the outstanding faculty of The Mill Ballet School, and guest artists. The goal of our program is to give each individual a better insight into the technique and artistry of dance. Student’s will take classes in both classical and contemporary ballet as well as dance composition. Choreographers will work with students on providing them with the knowledge and tools necessary to develop choreography and understand the process . The two week workshop will culminate with a showcase performance on Saturday, August 14th at 1:00pm and 4:00pm.
