About
The Department of Theatre and Dance is thrilled to offer programming beyond our formal degree programs. This summer, we have a variety of exciting opportunities for young artists to grow their skills, showcase their talents and explore The University of Texas at Austin. In this contemporary/modern dance intensive, you'll further your dance technique, deepen your artistry and develop your collaborative skills in a community of passionate dancers. Each day will include classes in contemporary/modern dance technique, phrase-work and collaborative choreographic methods. The week will culminate in a showing for friends and family of the dances we choreograph together based on a theme we choose. Our time together will be rooted in positive reinforcement, exciting challenges and shedding perfectionism for curiosity and imaginative play. Join us for a week of inspired, joyous and shared dancing! This week-long day camp at The University of Texas at Austin is for students who are entering the 2nd through 5th grade (ages 7-11) at any school or homeschool setting in Fall 2026. Each day, our group will use music, dance, theatre and visual art to carry out missions, solve mysteries and save the day from evil villains. By engaging in the creative arts, our young superheroes will be challenged to further develop their creative powers, discover individuality and understand community. On the final day of our journey (June 26), friends and family will be invited to an hour-long showcase where our superheroes will present the art they have created through an informal exhibition. Together, we will use the creative arts to explore medieval times, discover individual talents and create our own village. Using music, we might slay mystical creatures. Through theatre and dance, we might navigate complicated castles. With visual art, we might discover distant lands. On the final day of our quest (July 10), we will invite family and friends to an hour-long festival where our young wizards, knights and princesses will share the art they have created.
