June 24-27 Move and Groove Camp
Shake that thang! We will spend the week exploring sound in its many forms. From orchestras to bucket bands, we will enjoy the magic of music around us and around the world. And what goes better with music than dance? Humans have been dancing to music since the first two sticks banged together and we’ll be part of that journey.
