WEEKLY THEMES

​

Week 1: Dance Around the World

July 11-15, 2022

During Week 1 of camp, PMDI will take dancers on a

journey around the world to explore diverse dance styles

and cultural traditions. We will explore different ways

in which humanity uses dance to communicate thoughts,

ideas, emotions, history and to celebrate the passages of life.

 

Week 2: Dance As Protest

July 18-22, 2022

During Week 2 dancers will explore how to use dance

as a form of protest. They will take a deep dive

into how to analyze their thoughts, feelings and

emotions in response to world events and their

own personal experiences. Dancers will then begin

the creative process of using dance to convey perspective.

 

Week 3: The Art of Choreography

July 25-29, 2022

During Week 3 dancers will learn what it means to be an

artist with a voice! Over the course of a week we will tap

into each dancer’s creative minds and teach them

the art of dance composition. They will learn

how to convert thoughts, feelings and emotions into

gesture, movement and dance to tell

a story and speak their personal truths.
