DFT and ECS are excited to present CCUSD Spring Break Musical Revue Camp: Those Fabulous 50's! This exciting experience will culminate in a staged showcase performance of music from the rockin' 1950's and early 1960's! Following the format of DFT's highly successful Summer Musical Revue Camps, Those Fabulous 50's will focus on providing every performer (ages 8 – 14) with the opportunity to bring their own gifts and talents to the surface while also developing and enhancing their skills in music and movement/dance. Instructors Bertha Ordonez-Cortes (movement) and Kevin Glenn (music) bring a wealth of experience to this exciting camp making it perfect for beginners to build their skill-set and experienced performers to hone their talents as well. The final performance will be on the last day of camp. The time will be announced at a later date. For more information, please visit  www.dftheater.org/dft-classes
