5. Rhyme Development

6. Stage Presence

7. Movement

"We believe that the best way to learn is to do, so each student will get a chance to be in the spotlight."  says Producer Brandon Williamson.

Details:

Weekly camp sessions are 90 mins on Saturdays between 10am - 2pm exact start time based on group assignment.

Each session of RAP camp will empower students with the skills needed to confidently perform with spoken word, movement, and music - but the sessions are intended to be attended in 8 week blocks that culminate in a live musical performance.

"Our mindset is that rap is a tool and an instrument that can be used to tell a story.  

Campers dive into the science of rap music and learn how to deliver a story with confidence, annunciation, and character - ending the 8 week session with a LIVE performance! 

There is one session per week, with supplemental sessions and private parties available. There will be a MAXIMUM of 10 students per class session.

Sessions take place at Richard Rioux Park. Next session begins 1/24/23 - 3/11/23
