Morning Rotation
Each morning, students entering second grade and up participate in age-based, conservatory-style class rotations where they receive structured instruction in dance, vocal performance, and acting. Students entering K through 1st grade (the “Littles”, see camper group breakdown) participate in a morning schedule tailored specifically to their ages and attention spans.
Lunch (provided by Pingry)
Wildcard Rotation
After lunch, we hold a “wildcard” session in which we do something different each day. Past wildcards have included:
— Master classes with Broadway, film, and TV performers
— Visits from film, TV, and Broadway casting directors
—Audition workshops and clinics with Broadway agents and managers (some of our students were even “discovered” and signed by management as a direct result of these clinics)
—Workshops on set design, technical direction, costuming, and more
—Additional full company dance and song performance rehearsals
—Intensives in specialized dance styles such as hip-hop or tap
—Acting for film, television, and commercials
Afternoon Session (Performance Workshop)
The time period from 1:15 to dismissal is our Performance Workshop, where campers break into performance groups to rehearse for the Friday evening performance.

Upright bass, also called string bass or double bass, is a member of the orchestra family. Just as often, however, it appears in jazz, bluegrass, folk, and other genres. With a large hollow body and 4 thick strings, the tones produced by the upright bass are low and rich. The instrument is capable of long, expressive tones when played with a bow; and short, percussive tones when plucked with the strings. String bass is a dynamic and impressive instrument to play!
The oboe is a woodwind and a member of the double-reed family. It is played by blowing air through the reed, attached at the top of the instrument. The reed consists of two very thin pieces of cane, pressed together with a small opening to allow air to pass through. The sound can be high in pitch, but it has a variety of colorful tones, from bright and piercing to low and mysterious.
