Young Dancers’ Summer Day Camp (6-10yrs)

“Has the dance bug hit your kid?  Is he or she anxiously awaiting class every week?  If so, it might be time to let them immerse themselves in dance for a few weeks.  Our program is a nice way to have your child engaged constructively during those long summer hours away from school.  Dance is an excellent form of exercise, and a scientifically proven way to improve learning and concentration skills.

Choose anywhere from 1 to all 4 of the following weeks.                                                                                (June 20-24),  (June 27- July 1),  (July 11-15),  (July 18-22)

  • Days last from 9am-1pm.
  • Participants take ballet, tap, jazz and create their own choreography
  • Lunch time includes either watching Terpsicorps Theatre of Dance rehearsals, or videos of nationally known choreographers from the past and present.
  • Each week will end with a short performance for the parents from 12-1pm on Friday.
  • The first two weeks of classes will include a daily visit into the Terpsicorps rehearsal studio to watch the professionals at work.
  • All participants are given 1 child and 1 adult ticket to see the Terpsicorps Children’s Matinee performance on June 24.

Educational Summer Dance Day Camp (3-5yrs)

“This summer, Terpsicorps wants to give your preschooler a unique opportunity to learn through dance. As a parent, you want to make sure that your little one is both having fun and broadening their understanding of the world.  With this in mind, we have devised six weeks of exciting themed camps that can be purchased as a package or per week.  Children will learn about each theme through dance, music, crafts, story time and more. We like to use a student’s creativity and imagination to teach them about the world around them through both structured activities and short spurts of monitored but unstructured play.

  • Days last from 9am-1pm.
  • Each week will end with a short performance for the parents from 12-1pm on Friday.
  • The first two weeks of classes will include a daily visit into the Terpsicorps rehearsal studio to watch the professionals at work.
  • All participants are given 1 child and 1 adult ticket to see the Terpsicorps Children’s Matinee performance on June 24.

BUGS, BIRDS, BUTTERFLIES… AND FAIRIES! (JUNE 6-10)

Week two will focus on creative and fun ways to get familiar with the alphabet, both in shape and sound.

DINO DANCE CAMP (JUNE 20-24)

UNDERWATER EXPLORERS (JUNE 27-JULY 1)

Spend a whole week learning about the other part of our world, the one under the sea. Become a fish and then learn how we as people need to take care to ensure that oceans can still support life for generations to come.

National Parks Centennial Tour in Asheville

Most of us don’t need a reason to celebrate the National Parks, but in 2016, the National Park Service turns 100. Backpacker Magazine + Subaru of America, Inc. have sent a road team on an epic road trip to celebrate the personalities, places, and stories that make the park service as iconic as the ranger hat.

The #NPS100 Road Team will stop in Asheville for a photography clinic on their way to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. If you’re a photography enthusiast, a fan of National Parks, a general outdoor-lover, or all of the above, join us for their tips on the perfect photo composition, long-exposure night shots, and other landscape photography essentials, while also explaining how we can capture the beauty of the parks while simultaneously working to preserve these lands for generations to come.

Aspiring photographers and outdoor junkies can also submit photos (http://bit.ly/1OSyRrN) of National Parks for a chance to win prizes from Diamond Brand Outdoors, including a Mountain Hardwear Optic 6, a spacious six-man dome tent.
