Dance Camp

The Dance Camp offers a lot of fun and a challenge for students between 6 and 18 years old. Over the course of the week, focused dance training in the field of Urban Dance Styles (also known as Hip Hop) will be offered. Younger students will learn age-appropriate moves and steps in unique creative dance choreographies. Moreover, we want our students to learn to express their feelings through movement by offering different kinds of songs with different rhythmic patterns.

Advanced students will learn core elements of the various hip hop styles followed by elaborated moves to build up a profound understanding of both movement and style (mental and physical knowledge), such as go-downs, typical breakdancing, and power moves. Based on their level and interest as a group, we will develop and learn a variety of dance routines which will be put together to a theme-based choreography presented at our show at the end of the week. Together, we will design appropriate flyers and costumes, organize a photoshoot, choreograph steps together with solo parts, practice the dance steps, and rehearse for the show!

We are sure that this experience will be unforgettable! Fun and excitement are guaranteed, so don’t miss the AIS Dance Camp and register now!

The Basketball Clinic takes place during week 1. It is run by experienced coaching staff and former AIS Varsity players. This one week intense basketball training will focus on key core skills and team play. The Basketball Clinic is open for MS only.
