Summer Programming

PPI’s Performing Arts Summer Camp & Dance Intensive

PPI’s Performing Arts Summer Camp & Dance Intensive is a one-of-a-kind arts-based program. Students take their main, intensive courses in the following genres: ballet, contemporary, stretching/conditioning, leaps/turns, modern (Horton), jazz, hip-hop, tap, musical theater, and choreography.

Students also take elective classes: art, music/instrumentation, vocal training, tumbling, creative writing, poetry, and healthy eating/lifestyle.

All classes are on a block-rotating schedule. Courses are taught by professional artists and instructors from across the country. Students will participate in a culminating showcase on July 25th to show off their acquired skills to friends and family.
