School of The Getdown Youth Arts Camp is offered at no cost for youth participants ages 10-16 of all skill levels. Our goal is to instill and cultivate a love of the arts in each student, with a well-rounded, multidisciplinary curriculum. We aim to foster a community based on mutual respect and encouragement so all students can discover and explore their creativity and expression. Each student will embark on a journey of discovery of the arts, studying vocals, spoken word, Latin percussion, drum corps, and hip-hop dance in a supportive, fun environment*. Our powerful faculty roster of renowned educators, artists, and performers will guide students of all levels through a life-changing learning experience covering diverse cultural traditions and forms of expression.
*Live Band is limited to 8 artists, so it is by audition only. Please note that auditions are not an assessment of talent or musicianship. It is an assessment of artists who are a good fit for the group. Some level of skill is required, but it is not necessary to be advanced. Live Band is offered daily at 9am
