YWCA Junior Skyleaders Dance Camps (teamed with Skyforce Skyleaders!)
Camp 1: January 23  Camp 2: February 6  Camp 3: March 27
All camps are held at the YWCA
The YWCA and Skyforce Skyleaders are hosting three hip hop dance camps for kids in grades
K-4th and grades 5-8th.  This is a great opportunity for young dancers to share in the spirit of basketball, build life-long bonds with new friends, and create lasting memories!  Campers will spend the day with the Skyleaders dance squad and learn a short routine to be performed during a Skyforce basketball game that evening.  The campers will also participate in the announcement of players during the starting lineup.  The day includes warm-ups, making posters, learning cheers and a half-time routine.  All levels of dance/cheer are welcome. Be sure to bring tennis shoes and plenty of water.  Campers should dress in appropriate clothing for moving and dancing; tennis shoes are recommended.  For the half-time performance, campers should wear black pants or black shorts and the camp T-shirt each camper receives for attending camp.  Parents are welcome the last 10 minutes of camp to observe the skills and choreography learned during the sessions.
