Kidz CMI
Kidz program is continually growing. This is the second season
that CMI has been invited to direct the Junior Wizards Dance Team.
Young dancers between the ages of 8-12 can audition to perform
on the NBA court at 12 home games during the 2008-2009 season.
*Details about Junior Wizards auditions posted
below.
Another
opportunity for youth of all ages is to perform in the annual
dance concert, “The Capitol Movement Project” (CMP).
Once dancers are in the cast, they train in our company classes
at reduced rates and are pushed as professionals for the concert
and other performances. CMI Kidz has the opportunity to dance
with all other ages ranging between 4-43 and have many mentors
at their disposal.
CMI also offers intense summer training in the form of camps,
conventions and workshops. Our kids have performed for Diddy,
the Congressional Black Caucus, NBA Fans, in TV pilots, and who
knows what is next?
