Our Philosophy

Cora School for Dance is an outgrowth of the critically acclaimed professional dance company, Shannon Hummel/Cora Dance, which performs the collaboratively created work of celebrated choreographer and dance educator Shannon Hummel. For 13 years, Cora Dance has been known throughout the country for its compelling performances and educational programs. Founded on the belief that the best collaborative endeavors are built when participants are encouraged to bring their diverse points of view, talents and backgrounds to the creative process, Cora Dance’s inclusive vision fuels the education young dancers receive at the school. Cora School for Dance classes nurture strong technical training while encouraging dancers to find the power of their own individual creative voices.

About The Program

The program takes place over 5 weeks, Monday through Friday, July 6-August 6, 2010. Students may enroll in 1 to 5 weeks of the program.

Drop off begins at 8:30am. Pick-up takes place at 3:00pm. The program runs from 9:00am-3:00pm Monday through Friday.

The program provides a fun, diverse, performing arts-based experience for up to 13 children per week who are entering grades K-3. No previous dance experience is necessary. Each group of students will be supervised by a Summer Program Coordinator, a Program Counselor and an Arts Specialist.  

Children bring their own lunch. Cora provides two snacks.
