We’re more than halfway through summer and that means I only have two more installments on summer camps around the Atlanta area. This third installment focuses on sports camps around the metro area. Although there are plenty of regular camps that teach children about soccer, or basketball, or football, I like to travel off of the beaten path so to speak. Today’s post features the Atlanta Ballet’s summer dance camp. Dancers from all over the world come to Atlanta to learn techniques from some of the best instructors in the city. Ballet and contemporary dance classes were being taught while I was at the Michael C. Carlos Dance Centre so that’s what you’re about to see!
