  • Parents of Current Fifth and Sixth Graders: Kansas City Friends of Alvin Ailey sponsors a free, five-week summer camp.  From their website: AileyCamp is a five-week summer day camp where students are introduced to dance and come to respect the discipline of dance as a physical activity which requires athletic ability comparable to skills demanded by any sport. Campers also increase their leadership skills and enjoy a variety of athletic and social activities. They learn that dance is challenging, fun, and helps them in other sports and in life!  This is an incredible opportunity for your child and the March 1 “priority consideration” deadline is quickly approaching.  You can apply on-line at https://www.kcfaa.org/aileycamp/ or obtain a paper copy from the front office. AFIA students who’ve participated in this camp had an excellent experience.
