DANCE AND MOVEMENT CAMP IN SPANISH
JUNE 13 – 17
MONDAY–FRIDAY
9AM to 1PM
AGES 3.5 – 6
This week of camp offers a fun combination of dance, art, gymnastics and story telling centered around different themes for each day and it’s in SPANISH! After having much success with our Spanish through Dance program we want to offer this new camp this year at Calliope. This is an opportunity for the child who already is exposed and understands the language to continue practicing the basics of the Spanish language through movement and body awareness. We work based on the idea that language doesn’t come separate from culture and movement and verbal language are also inseparable so the children will have experiences to explore the Spanish language through dance and movement, music and stories. The camp also looks towards enhancing the children’s social and expressive skills, the connection between the organization of movement and speech, and the child’s understanding of her/his body in relationship to self, others and the world… all through a fun week of Dance and Movement!
EURYTHMY AND DANCE CAMP
JUNE 20 – 24
MONDAY – FRIDAY
9AM to 1pm
AGES 4-6
Taught by Isabella Guardia (Eurythmy) and Beatriz Gil (Dance). This camp is centered around Eurythmy, a movement art form that brings to life poetry and music, and is used in Waldorf schools as part of the curriculum. When doing Eurythmy in early childhood, a whole world opens up for the children, where they engage fully through their natural love for movement and their own imagination through the use of nature tales. The combination of Eurythmy and Dance will create a nice rhythm for a fun morning and week!
ABOUT ISABELLA
Isabella Guardia Ferragutti received her diploma in Eurythmy from Rudolf Steiner College, Fair Oaks, CA in 2010 and furthered her training at Eurythmy Spring Valley in New York. She joined Waldorf School of the Peninsula in Los Altos, CA to bring Eurythmy to the grades one through five, in 2013. Isabella is thrilled to come to Calliope this summer to share her love for both dance and Eurythmy with the children. Read more about Isabella here.

AGES 3-5
JULY 18 – 22
MONDAY – FRIDAY

AGES 6-9
Taught by our Calliope teaching staff: Rosana, Kelsey, Colleen, and Kerensa. Summer Camp at Calliope offers a fun combination of ballet, creative movement, gymnastics, art and yoga. We meet from 9 am to 1 pm every day during one week. We have different themes for each day and the children can come dressed up based on the theme. We go on short adventures around the neighborhood depending on the weather and we put on a little show at the end of the week so the parents can see how much fun the children had during the week as they experienced art, dance and movement in many ways. Camp is a great way for new students to start dancing at Calliope and it is a wonderful opportunity to be with friends and meet new people.
