Barton Dance Theatre will host a second Fairytale Kids Camp fundraising event this spring, where children aged three to eleven who love fairy tales can enjoy a camp full of creative expression led by Barton Dance Theatre students from 2-5 p.m. Feb. 7 in the Fine Arts Building.
Tickets are $20 per child and $10 per additional sibling (up to 3) and are available at shows.bartonccc.edu.
The camp includes classes taught by Barton Dance students in dance, visual art, tumbling, and acting. There will also be a snack and movie time at the end. The camp is a fundraiser for Barton Dance Theatre's tour to New York City in April.
Fine and Performing Arts Coordinator and Dance Instructor Danika Bielek said she designed the fundraiser as a way for kids to enjoy being active while also connecting her dancers with the community in a positive way.
“We hosted a Fairytale Camp last November and had such a great response, we sold out,” she said. “Offering this second camp gives families who couldn’t make it to the first one a chance for their children to come get creative with our dance students.
Bielek said that kids who attended the camp in November can still enjoy this one, too.
“The theme of fairytales is so popular, so there are many stories to draw inspiration from for our activities,” she said. We will have different things for our attendees to do, but just as much fun. Our dance students absolutely loved working with the children last fall, and they can’t wait to get creative with them again.”
