We don’t talk about Bruno, but we DO talk about how much we love Encanto! In this five day camp, students will get moving to five different songs from the movie Encanto! Come with some dance experience or none at all; this camp is designed to get you dancing AND have fun! 

We will begin each class with a brief check in to see what kind of energy everyone is bringing with them, then a brief warm up to wake up our bodies and feel out the space, and then move on to learning a beginner dance combination set to about a minute of a song from the movie. Dance steps may include jazz squares, kick ball changes, windmill arms, pivots, step touches, grapevines, and many more. 

We will take a short break at the halfway point of each class to hydrate and take a restroom break, as well as have discussions about the movie (why certain characters made certain decisions, who is the best character, etc.) In the last few minutes of each class, we will have a final performance of the dance of the day (anyone at home is welcome to watch if the student wishes!). Students can also have an Encanto style costume accessible for our final performance! At the end of each class students will also share one word or sound to describe how they felt about their performance. 

On the last day of class, we will have our typical final performance and then a share where each student will show which dance move was their favorite to learn and do, and one thing they were proud they did during our time together. 

*Please note that we dance to a small portion of one song, not in a formal concert or performance format, using my own choreography not featured in the movies. We never do all of the songs within one class, only one each class, and never in the context of the show or using the technical elements related to Encanto.
