ANC Dance Intensive | August 24-28, 2020

ANC Dance Intensive is the perfect way to get excited and prepared for dancing during the school year after a summer off.

ANC Dance Intensive is open to boys and girls entering 7th through 12th grades and is held in the Asplundh Field House dance studio and the Mitchell Performing Arts Center. Dancers of all levels, including beginners, are welcome to participate.

The ANC Dance Team teachers will lead technique-based warm-ups along with teaching a dance which the participants will perform for a video on the last day of the camp. This video will be edited and put on social media after camp is over. There will be special guest sessions in which students will be exposed to a new and different style of dance and will have the opportunity to learn from a new teacher.

Students must wear masks and practice social distancing–new procedures will be in place to keep the spaces clean and keep students a safe distance apart.

Registration

Registration Cost is $100 per person for the program. Please note: for students enrolled in ANC Dance Team during the next year, there is a $40 discount for the program. Payment is due on first day of the intensive. For more information or to sign up, please email sarah.gladish@ancss.org.

Registration deadline is August 10, 2020.

A Yearly Physical for ANC students is required prior to the start of camp. Non-ANC students are required to submit a current physical from their Healthcare Provider. Physicals must be done after May 1, 2020 and before the start of the dance intensive.
