Location & Spaces
Dance lessons will primarily take place in a long and wide hallway right outside of entrance to large theater where Doug's Drama Camp will primarily be, however we will use stage for weekly showcases. The hallway stays very cool according to employees there, with window and front door for fresh air. A short walk outside is a very large open concrete space with trees for shade where occasionally we will spend class time.
Showcase
20-30 minute stage performance after camp Friday of each week. Showcasing dance freestyles and choreography!
