DANCE SCHOOL

LYDIA JOHNSON DANCE SCHOOL SUMMER 2022

Lydia Johnson Dance School’s acclaimed Dance Program for Summer 2022 is for rising 5th graders through early high school students. It will meet Monday through Friday from 9:00am-12:00pm in the theater and outdoors at the Burgdorff Center in Maplewood for 2 weeks: July 18-22 and/or July 25-29. Register for 1 or 2 weeks. This unique program includes a daily dance technique class (Ballet Barre and Contemporary Center Combination), outdoor snack time and a full in-depth Choreography Workshop. The LJD Dance Camp offers a creative, fine arts approach as an alternative to commercial dance education. Every child is a dancemaker at LJD. Each year students at this esteemed camp find their own niche and blossom with confidence as they learn and experience the art of choreographing their own dances! The program is full of warmth, fun and exciting activities. LJD professional dancers will be with us at Camp as Guest Artists showing excerpts of Lydia’s work as well as teaching special classes. Teen Summer Internships As always, we are happy to invite interested teens to apply to be Dance Camp Interns who assist in classes, set up and help with snack time, and who also choreograph together a special dance to share with the students! Interns are paid a stipend as they learn leadership skills while expanding their own dance and choreography range. The warmth, talent and great spirits of our group of Interns are well known! LJD is a not-for-profit organization and offers a Scholarship Program so every child can study dance. Email: LJDanceschool@gmail.com • www.lydiajohnsondance.org
