Grier Summer Intensive Dance Program

June 28 - July 17, 2009

An intensive 3-week program in dance.
Cost: $3,200

 

The intensive dance program is directed by Jocelyn Hrzic, Grier School dance instructor, choreographer, and coach of the school's award-winning dance competition team. This program is for intermediate and advanced dancers, ages 12 to 17. Candidates must submit a video of their abilities or arrange for an audition on our campus. Less experienced dancers may enroll in our Creative and Performing Arts Program.

 

The Grier Summer intensive dance program involves a physically rigorous schedule including a daily stretch class, and disciplined work in ballet and jazz.  Our jazz curriculum includes many different styles of dance including classical jazz, musical theatre, hip-hop, and contemporary jazz.

 

All students will be improved in balance, strength, and terminology.  Dancers will perform in a recital at the end of the session.

All campers at Grier Summer live in dormitory rooms according to age. Each dorm room houses two people, and there is a bathroom connecting every two rooms. The rooms include two beds, two dressers, two desks, and two closets. Two counseling staff are assigned to each unit of 6-8 campers. The counselors live in the hall, very close to the campers. Counselors are college-age women, and we sometimes employ exceptional high school seniors to assist the counselors.

 

In a three-week session at Grier Summer, each camper follows her individual activity schedule for 13 days of the session, including Saturdays and Sundays. On Thursdays, we have special events such as theme days with entertainers. On Mondays, campers attend field trips to local attractions.

 

Grier Summer is accredited by the American Camp Association, meeting over 200 standards for health and safety, site and facilities, administration, and camper programs. We have fewer than 100 campers at a time, and would love for you to become a member of our camp family.
