  Join us this summer for summer hip-hop camp!  Camp days will include LOTS of dancing to high-energy (and age-appropriate) music that will appeal to all our campers, who will be introduced to movement influenced by many of the choreographers seen on music videos and in movies, bringing the original movement and music from pop culture right into the Severn studio.  We will work on all aspects of successful dance training such as warming up, flexibility, rhythm, basic fundamental movement, style, and choreography. At the conclusion of camp, dancers will perform a showcase of what they have learned throughout the week for friends and family to enjoy!

  May I bring my own camera?
  
  

  We will be using a few different types of cameras throughout the week, and we have enough for all campers.  However, if anyone has their own camera they wish to use, they may certainly bring it in, and they may use it when/if/as appropriate.  If your child does bring a camera to school, please clearly label the camera and any accessories with your child's full name or initials.  Registration for this camp indicates acknowledgement of the following:
  
  

  •   Severn School is not responsible for damage or loss.

  •   Any accompanying memory cards, batteries/chargers, and cords must be sent in along with the camera.

  •   Campers will need to leave their cameras and other items with Ms. Cranford for the week.

  •   Only your child (and the teacher, as needed) will be able to use their camera.  No other campers will be allowed to use their camera.
