The NH Academy of Performing Arts (NHAPA) in conjunction with the Prescott Park Arts Festival is pleased to announce a FREE summer dance performance experience for Seacoast area youth, age 8 & up.  This flagship community outreach program will be focused on bringing the art of dance and the experience of performance to all.

During the program, students will learn a basic hip hop performance piece which they will rehearse and later perform as part of the Seacoast Civic Dance Company performances at Prescott Park on Friday August 6 at 5:30pm (Check registration form for important rain out information).

Associate Director of NHAPA, Robyne Lundgren along with faculty member, Chanelle Dolbeare will lead the 3 choreography workshops to learn the piece that will be performed on August 6th.   Ms. Lundgren has been a dance educator for over 20 years, is a certified member of Dance Educators of America and Dance Masters of America and has received several nods of recognition for both her teaching style and dynamic choreography.  Chanelle is a faculty member at NHAPA, and a graduate of New York University where she was a member of the NYU dance team.  Chanelle trained with NHAPA for many years and is also a former member of the Seacoast Civic Dance Company.

Participants will have the opportunity to learn some basic hip hop skills, experience working in a group dance number and gain valuable performance skills.  No previous dance training is required, however, students should have an interest in the performing arts and dancers with experience are welcome.

Choreography Sessions will be held on Wednesdays, July 21, 28 & August 4 from 9:30-10:30am at the Prescott Park stage.  Students will perform on Friday, August 6.
