WOW! Awesome!! Totally fun! This was our first dance camp held at the YMCA in Cadillac and we all had such a fun time! The camp was broken up into sections to aid all the ages that came to camp! First we all warmed up together and then broke up into dance groups. Some kids learned the jig, reel or novice reel. Each day was also broken up by crafts, games and learning about the Irish culture. As a group we all learned the Ceili called The Waves of Tory. Camp was held each day from 9-12 and the age was 6-18!
In the middle of camp the Northern Lights Dancers came and gave them a taste of what happens when you work hard and stick with Irish dancing!
We will definitely hold a camp next summer and possibly have two sessions. The feedback was nothing but positive and the kids were so sad on the last day. Their families came for our performance and each kid presented the dance they learned in their group and the Ceili together.
Hope you can do the camp with us next year!
