Campers learn foundation moves and histories of multiple street dance styles from around the world, including the Bay Area's own TURF dancing. Children develop unique moves and build technical skills to express themselves articulately and freely through movement. They develop strong mind-muscle connection while practicing musicality (how they interpret the music with movement), athleticism: grace, balance, explosive movements and more.

​

I make sure to meet each individual at their physical, emotional and creative levels - challenging them through creative directions and abilities. At Cole Dance Camp students learn how to tell stories with their bodies as one would with words, but musically. Teaching students how to visualize and actualize.

​

Each camper receives personalized attention to guide their natural creativity in ways that are intuitive. I reinforce that there aren't any right or wrongs in expressing oneself through art, but rather a spectrum of expression and abilities. Imagination is a tool of infinite possibilities that will help them excel in anything they pursue in life along with the mental and physical technique to make manifest.

​

Campers will learn a bunch of ways to move their bodies through techniques including body isolations, grooving, footwork, style, acting, storytelling and more. Each week students learn a new choreography based on moves learned that week. Styles include hip hop party dances, breakin, TURF dance, Jookin, Afro-Brazilian, contemporary-ballet, capoeira martial arts. Students will have access to instruments as well to play, while resting from dance.
