Summer Camp Dance

Step Dancing

The step piece introduceda genre of dancing that the

campers had only seenin movies. It t involved a lot

of patience, effort, and repetition. The dance

taught the group discipline, respect and

most importantly, unity.

Danza Kuduro

Danza Kuduro was a dance mix of some African influence and a few salsa steps. This dance gave the kids the opportunity to use

their creativity by incorporating their own dance moves into the piece. As a group, we worked

together to finish the choreography.

The Final Presentation Students were given the opportunity to put on a presentation for their parents

to show them what they learned in summer camp.

Sports

In the sports demonstration, we played a game of “Quemado” or Dodgeball as it is

called in the United States. This game allowed the parents to learn a new game

and involve themselves in the closing activities.

Recreation

During recreation, the campers presented some breakdancing

techniques that they had learned. Learning breakdance helped the boys discover their own personal interest in dance.

It also showed them the advantages of teamwork;

working together they achieved more.
