The Estevan Recreational Dance Club has had good attendance for its camps so far this summer.
Brooke Wilson, who operates the dance club, said they started the summer by offering hip hop from July 8-11, which attracted 16 dancers, and jazz tap from July 15-18 that drew nine.
Last week seven older students tried out some different techniques. The camps will wrap up this week and next week with hip hop and ballet lyrical.
She said the camps are a lot of fun, and they’re a good way to keep dancing throughout the summer months.
“Normally we wrap up in March, and then you don’t really dance again until the next September,” said Wilson. “It’s a good way to get back into it before the next season starts, learn some new techniques and work on your old moves, and it helps a lot to get you prepared for the next season and your new dances.”
Wilson wants to emphasize having fun and making new friends through the summer camps.
“A lot of the students who come in that are new are a little shy, but all of the returning students warm right up to them, and everyone by the end of the first day is playing together and it’s great.”
This year is the second the dance club has offered summer camps. Most of the dancers taking the camps have been part of their programs in the past.
