Be dramatic . . . sing and dance all day! Campers, of all skill levels, begin by rotating through morning classes taught by our experienced teaching artists. MTC’s teaching artists include teachers from public/private schools, colleges and universities as well as professional performers. While students learn and improve theater-related skills in voice, dance, and acting, they also gain focus and discipline while exercising their mind and body. During afternoon rehearsals, students work toward their on-stage performance while building teamwork skills, a sense of accomplishment and self-esteem. Most of all, they have fun!

About MTC's Summer Day Camps
Seven Camp Sessions in 3 Locations
Rockville
Musical Theater Song & Dance Camps
Campers begin their mornings with one hour each of acting, dance, and singing lessons, with campers divided by age and skill level. Acting games are played which foster creative problem-solving, team work, and other life skills. Dance classes expose beginning dancers to basic dance steps while challenging current dance students with new choreography. Singing classes teach vocal techniques through exercises and song. In the afternoon, students put their skills to use as they prepare musical theater songs and dances for their end-of-camp performance. Campers also enjoy other “surprise” activities including a voice recital and counselor presentations. No prior experience necessary.
