Florida Academy Of Performing Arts Provides Enjoyable Musical Summer season Camps

The Florida Academy of Performing Arts (FAOPA) is an area nonprofit group that was established to assist the performing arts by way of packages on the academy and within the Brandon group.

FAOPA is dedicated to offering extraordinary theater experiences that educate, problem and encourage college students and their surrounding communities. FAOPA fosters self-discovery, creativity, confidence, group duty and delight in accomplishment.

“FAOPA celebrates the professional artistic disciplines of music, dance and the visual arts,” mentioned Danielle Sanchez, academy director of FAOPA. “We strive to be a model of excellence in theatre for all our audiences.”

FAOPA and Music Showcase have provided summer time camps, day camps and musical theater camps for a few years.

“The day camps consist of singing, dancing, arts and crafts, intro into theater through improv,” Sanchez mentioned. “Our musical theater camps are for all ages and skill levels. We offer a variety of shows throughout the summer. Students work on choreography, blocking, stage direction and character development. Throughout the process, we watch students grow in confidence and self-esteem as they become blooming actors on the stage.”

FAOPA is at present engaged on the camps they are going to be providing this summer time to the group.

“We will offer musical theater camps and day camps,” Sanchez mentioned. “Our musical theater camps are two weeks long. Day camps are one week long. We have our middle school/high school groups that meet in the afternoon/evening.”

The value for musical theater camp is $295 plus a service payment. Day camps are from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. for half day and from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. for complete day. Day camp is for kindergartners by way of age 10, and the fee is $230 plus service payment.

“Parents love our musical theater camps,” Sanchez mentioned. “They love watching where their student starts and end up as well as seeing the difference. They love to watch their children grow in self-esteem and find the confidence to stand on the stage with their peers in the show. Some students start off very shy, but by the end of the two weeks they are a loud supporting star. Parents are astounded by the work we do in two weeks and how fantastic the shows are when performed.”

Sanchez and her workforce at FAOPA hope their summer time camps will encourage future musicians and thespians.

“Our hope for this summer’s musical theater camps is to create a safe, joyful, high-energy space for all students to grow in confidence, creativity, and stage skills,” Sanchez mentioned. “We want to celebrate all the students’ successes and hope they feel seen, feel stronger in their craft and truly enjoy their time here. We want them to leave with an unforgettable experience and want to come back.”
