Workshop and Audition Week

The week of March 9th- March 12th was workshop week for the ArtSummer Dance program! We loved being able to connect with students, encourage them to attend ArtSummer, and meet the awesome teachers at Hartsville and Darlington Middle Schools!

Monday March 9th, Miss Flowers taught workshop classes to the Hartsville Middle School gym students. Students were taught a short choreographed jazz combination to Mark Ronson’s “Uptown Funk”, allowing them to get a taste of the choreography that will be offered at this year’s ArtSummer camp.  Tuesday March 10th, similar workshops were held for the Darlington Middle School gym students.

The ArtSummer Dance auditions were held Wednesday March 11th and Thursday March 12th after school for students interested in participating in the ArtSummer Dance camp. The audition consisted of a short choreographed lyrical-contemporary combination to Sam Smith's acoustic cover of "Latch" and the jazz combination students learned in the workshop class. To say auditions went well is an understatement! The students' excitement and motivation to master the combinations were extremely encouraging and showed that they are the ideal students we are looking to work with this summer. 


We are more than excited to see all the students and parents at ArtSummer Orientation on May 19th, and we look forward to an awesome and unforgettable ArtSummer 2015!
