The Gabriella Foundation is launching its SummerDance camp, following a model influenced by top education- and creative-based theorists.
The camp is targeted at families in the mid- to higher-resource brackets. Forty-two students in the “mid-resource” socioeconomic bracket will be joined by 18 students from a “lower-resource” economic bracket, who will attend camp at a reduced rate. Students will receive the same dance education from professional dance teachers, and because of their families’ financial contributions, will help others have a transformative summer camp experience.
The goal is to provide more youth with a full-day, summer dance camp experience while creating an optimal environment for learning and creativity.
Session one for youth ages 6-8 years old runs from July 5 to July 15. Session two for children 9-11 runs from July 18 to July 29. Drop off is from 8 to 8:30 a.m. daily.
Students will participate in mixed-level classes in ballet, modern dance, jazz, hip-hop, and art and life skills from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., daily. The camp is held in the historic Sheraton Townhouse building studios at 2955 Wilshire Blvd.
