Campers will work with a high-energy, former Professional Dancer, Marlon Rodriguez Horrego, to learn the basics of hip hop, salsa, Latin, Flamenco, Bachata, and Merengue! Camp is open to all skill levels but will cover introductory dance moves and may not be a good fit for advanced dancers. After spending an entire afternoon dancing, campers will end the day with a swim in our indoor pool!
