Dance Camps for both kids

Last week, both kids attended dance camp at the studio where Serafina dances during the school year.  Leo was in a hip hop camp with an awesome teacher Mr. Grant.  He learned a lot about the history of hip hop.  

Here's his class.  Leo was the oldest in his group. 

 Serafina was in a Contemporary Dance camp.  She loved it.  She was the youngest but she really liked her teacher and she felt that dancing with the older, more skilled girls helped her elevate her own dancing.  Here's her group.

On the last day of camp, they showed off what they've learned.  Leo's class demonstrated some "across the floor" moves.

And then presented a short routine.  Afterwards, Mr. Grant told me that Leo is a natural performer and should keep it up. 

Serafina's group had a full dance routine.  The piece was inspired by poems from Shel Silverstein's book "A Light in The Attic", which was one of my childhood favorites and a book my kids have read several times.  The sections of the dance with the whole group were chorographed by the teacher, Ms. Gabby.  The smaller group sections were chorographed by the kids themselves.  The result is pretty impressive.  

Here are my two performers.  I was really proud of them and they had a great time.
