Classes will be fun and challenging and will introduce students campers to various dance styles such as B-Boying/B-Girling (often misunderstood as breakdancing), hip hop, Poppin, Locking, jazz, African, and more. The instructors will define the basic movements and techniques, teach them to the students, and develop the movements into combinations for practice. Classes promote and develop strength, stamina, balance, and flexibility needed for these styles of dance. The camp will culminate with a performance of the campers with Illstyle & Peace closing the performance with their "HIGH ENERGY" lec dem show called "Become Your Dreams".

Movement, Voice & Performance
We will start everyday with movement and voice exercises to get warmed up followed by theatre and improv games to practice skills and have fun!!. The bulk of the afternoon will involve putting a performance together. This may be based on folk tales from other cultures or it may be something we create together as a collective. The goal is to create a performance to share with the public at the end of our time together. The performance will be created by the participants and they will be responsible for costumes, set, music, and stage management.
