Details
Stanford University is a symbol of excellence, and The Stanford Dance Division, a unit of the Drama Department, lives up to that reputation. Students enrolled in this exciting dance camp will experience firsthand the excellent diversity and strength of this program.
This conservatory-style, week-long intensive is taught by Stanford's outstanding dance faculty, who bring years of experience as teachers and performers, and provide a supportive environment for exploration and learning. Students take daily classes in hip hop, world dance, and contemporary dance, including technique, improvisation, and choreography. Students will have the opportunity to dance improvisational pieces choreographed specifically for the architecture and environment of the Stanford Campus.
The fun continues through the evening with swimming and campus tours, workshops, discussions and videos in areas such as partner dancing, prevention of dance injuries, nutrition, and dance aesthetics.
At the end of the week, there will be a public showing for family and friends in the historic atmosphere of the Roble Dance Studio, where the Dance Division presents its own performances throughout the year.
