MAKING MERRY

AUGUST CAMPERS LOVE A GOOD PARTY!
Nightly themed dance parties. Need we say more?

After each day of new-dance immersion, the evenings are for kicking back. Let your hair down with us at our exciting parties, where the only requirement is that you have fun!
​
  • Costumes highly encouraged, and the more ridiculous the better.
  • Dancing—of course! Lead your favorites, learn some of the other groups' go-to dances, or chair dance while you socialize with old and new friends.
  • Refresh and recharge with our homemade treats and fresh fruit.

Tapping your toes at the thought of it, future Camper? We can't wait to see your interpretation of this year's exciting themes—scroll down to read all about them!

2018 Party Themes

Thursday: Shiny
Make yourself bright, glossy, gleaming, lustrous! Put a bauble or three on and fill the room with glorious reflected light. Or just show your natural bling and smile! This night's dances will be programmed on-the-spot so don't forget to bring your dance requests along with your sparkle.

Friday: Frida & Diego
Get ready for an artsy night! Dress up as painter Frida Kahlo, or her husband, muralist Diego Rivera; as something she loved, like parrots and spider monkeys; or as a Communist, drawing inspiration from her friend Leon Trostky, or for a different feel, from her other friend Georgia O'Keeffe. If those don't suit you, turn yourself into artin colorful, Mexican-inspired clothes. It's a fiesta!

Saturday: Some Like It Hot!
You're sure to get fired up by this '59 hit movie, starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon. There's so much to draw from: quirky crossdressing antics, speakeasies and spats, trains and the Mafiosa. Think 1929 and Prohibition! Whether you channel your favorite New Mexican food or wear your hottest outft, the you'll raise the temperature tonight!
