The 23rd annual Berkeley/Oakland AileyCamp, running until July 25, is a transformative program for youth ages 11 to 14, focusing on dance and personal growth. Based at UC Berkeley, the camp provides immersive training in various dance styles, complemented by activities like field trips and workshops. The director, Patricia West, emphasizes key life lessons that students carry forward, including personal excellence, contemplation, and the empowering role of the arts. The camp concludes with a performance showcasing the students' growth, underscoring the lasting impact of their experiences.
Dance has always been a part of me, even when I was a baby. AileyCamp has cultivated my confidence and passion for performing.
Three core principles resonate long after AileyCamp: aim for personal best, give oneself time for reflection, and harness arts for expression and strength.
