“ALL ABOARD FOR BROADWAY”: A BALLET AUSTIN ACADEMY SUMMER CAMP
Become a Broadway Kid this August with Ballet Austin and a fun Musical Theatre Camp!
Celebrate what makes you uniquely YOU through song and dance. Create amazing memories alongside your peers at Ballet Austin as you work together to put on a show for your loved ones. Sign up for our one-week experience and groove your summer away with Ballet Austin!
Throughout the week, campers will engage in the three main aspects of Musical Theatre: singing, dancing, and acting. Campers will be divided into groups based on their age, and will learn an opening and closing production number, as well as songs chosen to showcase their skills and unique personalities. On the last day of Summer Camp from 12-12:30 p.m., parents are invited to attend “The All Aboard for Broadway” Performance.
To keep it simple, Ballet Austin will use August 1, 2024, as the date to classify a camper’s age.

WHAT IS AN AVERAGE DAY LIKE?
Campers will begin and end each day all together in the Austin Ventures Studio Theatre. Here they will learn the Opening Number vocally and will also be taught the choreography. During the rest of the day, campers will rotate between two other studios to learn additional group numbers specific to their age group and have one snack time in between.
The activities of the day will include the learning of two dance numbers and one number of the two being taught vocally, arts and crafts, and plenty of fun collaborative theatre games. The end of the day will be dedicated to learning the closing number with everyone all together.
Dance numbers will be taught by two separate dance instructors and all vocal parts outside of the opening and closing number, will be taught during the music portion of their group rotation.
WHAT WILL MY CHILD NEED TO ATTEND SUMMER CAMP?
Campers will have one (1) snack break. We ask parents to prepare their child’s snack each day, as exiting the building will not be permitted.
Upon arrival, we will have separate bins designated for each snack. Following the first day, parents will be provided with themed stickers to label your child’s meals.
We ask parents to refrain from providing their child with any peanut products in the event any of the other student possesses a peanut allergy.
Campers will also need a reusable water bottle.
Additionally, campers can bring a pillow or nap mat to get comfortable during the quiet activity when time permits.
WHAT SHOULD MY CHILD WEAR TO CAMP?
Campers should come dressed in comfortable dancewear and/or activewear and shoes. Ballet slippers are not required. This includes: leggings, sweat pants, and sneakers.
