(Jupiter, Fl) April 18, 2008 - Summer Camp at Atlantic Arts Academy runs for six weeks and begins on Monday June 9th and ends on Friday July18th. This isn't the type of camp where children bring a lunch box and go to the zoo; Atlantic Arts Academy employs former and current industry professionals with years of experience and training. Dance instruction includes: ballet, jazz, hip hop and tap. Students will focus on the finer points of dance including: choreography, lessons in dance history, stretch, strengthening the body, makeup and respect and appreciation for the art. Dancers will also work on weekly acting classes to improve their presence onstage. There will be weekly workshops in other art forms including: visual arts, stage combat, magic and mime. Students will have a performance every Friday to showcase their skills.

Actors also have the luxury of a top notch education by learning the finer points of breaking down a scene for the stage, comedic and dramatic improvisation, monologue work for auditions, stage combat and a weekly theater movement workshop from a former member of the Obie award winning Blue Man Group. Students will also get to experience comedic improvisation from members of Gated Community Improv, an improv comedy troupe touring professionally for the past three years ( www.gcimprov.com). The morning classes will be similar to being on Whose Line Is It Anyway? working on exercises to sharpen the wit and enhance the funny bone. Acting students will also take weekly workshops in other art forms including: visual arts, stage combat, magic and mime. Students will have a performance every Friday to showcase their skills.
