This year, our Spring Dance Camp in Dubai (Part 1) was an incredible experience filled with creativity, fun and inspiring dance moments! With a fresh and vibrant spring theme, our campers immersed themselves in movement, arts and crafts and the joy of learning new dance styles. Here’s a glimpse into the highlights that made this camp an unforgettable experience for everyone involved.
Spring Strength: Stretch & Strengthen for Dance
Our campers started each day with Stretch and Strengthening sessions, where they learned the importance of properly warming up their bodies before dancing. Through targeted exercises, they focussed on building strength, improving flexibility and developing body awareness to help them execute their movements safely and confidently. These sessions set the perfect foundation for the diverse dance styles they explored throughout the camp.
Ballet Elegance: Dancing to Le Corsaire
Our ballet classes during the camp introduced our young dancers to the beauty of classical ballet through the stunning variation of Gulnare from Le Corsaire. They worked on refining their technique, focusing on grace, posture and musicality while learning movements inspired by this captivating ballet. The class was a wonderful opportunity for campers to connect with storytelling through movement and develop their appreciation for the art of ballet.
Musical Theatre Magic with Shrek the Musical
Adding a touch of Broadway excitement, our Musical Theatre classes were packed with energy and expression. The kids had a blast singing and dancing to I Know It’s Today and Freak Flag from Shrek the Musical. With dynamic choreography and storytelling elements woven into each routine, they embodied the characters and brought the songs to life with enthusiasm and creativity.
High-Energy Hip Hop: Dancing to Uptown Funk
Our Hip Hop classes had everyone moving and grooving to Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars! Our young dancers learned the foundations of hip hop, including isolations, footwork and freestyle movement, while expressing their unique styles. The high-energy routine was a favourite among campers, bringing fun and excitement to every class.
Acro Adventures: Flips, Tricks and Bruno Mars!
AcroDance was a thrilling part of our Spring Dance Camp, where students practiced skills such as cartwheels, walkovers and balances to Apt Rose by Bruno Mars. Each session helped them build confidence, strength and coordination, while also allowing them to explore the artistry behind acrobatic movement. The joy and excitement in the room were contagious as the campers worked on mastering their skills in a safe and encouraging environment.
Dance Education: Learning from the Best
Our Spring Dance Camp wasn’t just about movement; it was also about learning! Throughout the week, campers explored different styles of dance through engaging educational sessions:
Ballet: We introduced campers to Coppélia, as performed by The Bookshop Theatre, giving them insight into the world of classical ballet storytelling.
Musical Theatre: Campers watched excerpts from Shrek the Musical to see how acting, singing and dancing come together in a theatrical production.
Hip Hop: Campers analysed performances from hip hop competition videos, studying professional dancers and learning how hip hop styles evolve on stage.
AcroDance: Campers watched acro competition videos to gain a deeper appreciation for strength, technique and artistic expression in acrobatic performances.
Spring Arts & Crafts: Creativity in Full Bloom
Beyond dance, our campers embraced their creative sides with arts and crafts activities. They designed personalised spring-themed artwork, adding their own artistic flair to the camp. These creative projects not only allowed them to explore another form of self-expression but also encouraged them to think imaginatively, work with different materials and develop fine motor skills. The hands-on nature of these activities fostered creativity, teamwork and a sense of accomplishment as they saw their ideas come to life.
End of Camp Performance: A Celebration of Talent!
The highlight of our Spring Dance Camp was the much-anticipated End of Camp Performance, where our talented campers took to the stage to showcase what they had learned. Parents and guardians gathered to watch as our campers performed beautifully choreographed routines to Le Corsaire, Uptown Funk, I Know It’s Today and Freak Flag, as well as their impressive acro sequences.
The energy in the room was electric as our campers shone with confidence and enthusiasm. It was a proud moment for all involved and we couldn’t be more thrilled with their progress and dedication. Seeing their excitement and joy performing was truly heartwarming!
Thank You!
A huge thank you to all the parents and guardians who supported their dancers throughout this journey. We can’t wait to welcome everyone back for our next camp and continue sharing the joy of dance, creativity and performance!
