THE SOUTHERN WEEK PHILOSOPHY

     Our camps are designed to be richly rewarding for complete beginners as well as the experienced dancer or musician. Our programs provide a LEARNING VACATION - that means lots of fun and enjoyment as well as serious classes and workshops. You create your own mix!
     We provide both music and dance classes, so that dancers will have the finest music to dance to and musicians will be inspired by the great dance forms that their music is rooted in. Participants can tailor their own schedule to focus exclusively on vocal or instrumental music, dance or a mix of your own. It's not uncommon to find an experienced dancer taking a beginning music class or an experienced musician learning to dance for the first time.
