The JUNIOR program offers a well-rounded curriculum that includes required classes in dance, theater and musical theater, with electives in art, creative writing and equestrian. Class placements are held on the first full day of camp, after which each student is assigned to an appropriate-level dance, theater and musical theater class. Students can then choose two other classes from the list of electives or, as approved based on class placement, from the other dance, theater and musical theater offerings.

DanceDANCE
JUNIOR students will explore different dance styles through technique and Dance Sampler classes. Core classes will include Ballet, Modern and Jazz styles, and may also encompass Tap, Afro-Carribean Dance and Social Dancing. The Junior program offers a chance for first explorations of dance, as well as a more intensive approach for the student with greater experience.

THEATER
Based on class placement, JUNIOR students will be assigned to an appropriate theater class, with other approved theater classes available as electives.

MUSICAL THEATER
Students in the JUNIOR program will acquire a foundation for musical theater performance through classes in musicianship, vocal technique and ensemble repertory. At the same time, they will be building a foundation in acting and dance through classes offered within the theater and dance department. Song writing is offered as an elective.

ART
Students taking art classes will learn a variety of techniques in the areas of drawing, painting, sculpture and mixed media. Students display their artwork on Showcase Day.

CREATIVE WRITING
Students may take classes in creative writing or playwriting. Students will have the opportunity to write, publish, and present their own poetry, prose and plays.

EQUESTRIAN
Students can register for Equestrian classes to ride two class periods weekly, leaving three free periods in their weekly schedule. Students may pay an additional fee for semi-private or private lessons.
