So You Think You Can…Summer Dance Camp ~ Drive Dance Centre Offers Dance & Arts Camps for Community

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) June 9, 2009 -- Vancouver, BC -- Drive Dance Centre is now offering Vancouver kids and teens a much needed alternative summer activity with its art and dance camps. Teens Beginner & Intermediate Camp (age 12-18 yrs) runs June 29 - July 3; and Kids Art & Dance Camp (ages 3-11 yrs) runs July 13 - July 17, 2009.

Kids and parents both look forward to summer break. But how do parents keep their child safe and supervised while keeping their minds and bodies active? Noticing a substantial lack of summer programs in the downtown core for kids and teens, the Drive Dance Centre is now offering specialized Art and Dance Camps at an affordable price. Learning from well renowned professional instructors, kids and teens will develop their artistic skills in an environment conducive to both entertainment and education.

Boys and girls alike will find classes to be engaging, uplifting, and inspiring! Kids can sing, dance, draw, and enjoy arts and crafts in a comfortable, non-intimidating atmosphere. While teens train in a variety of classical, ballroom, and Latin techniques from seasoned professionals including Drive Dance Centre founder and owner, Geneen Georgiev, and Latin Ballroom Champion, Katya Virshilas.

“Our Arts & Dance Camps are our way of giving back to the community and making dance and art more accessible,” shares Georgiev. “The camps provide the challenge, interaction, and fun of sport activities – all while building the students’ confidence from learning a talent they’ve only dreamed of doing, like what they see on shows like So You Think You Can Dance.”

Georgiev is a classically trained dancer who has trained internationally at acclaimed studios in Japan, England, Australia, and USA. She is a mainstay in Vancouver’s music video and performance scene, and offers an energetic teaching approach that emphasizes technique and individual attention. Virshilas has won numerous dance championships including being the youngest ever BC Latin Dance Champion and representing Canada at the World Championships. She has choreographed Jennifer Lopez and Richard Gere for their roles in “Shall We Dance,” as well as performed the legendary tango with Antonio Banderas in the film, “Take the Lead.”
