WORKSHOPS INDEX 


Glee for All!
Vancouver, BC –

'Kids' from 9 to '92' across Metro Vancouver are getting their Glee on this
September. Based on the popular television show, Glee Camp Vancouver's
wildly successful summer Glee Camps are being offered as evening classes.

With locations in Vancouver, New Westminster and North Delta, Glee Choirs
are available for tweens, teens, and adults. Glee Campers will work with
Glee Camp founder and vocal instructor, Sara Zacharias, and a guest choreo-
grapher. Each week, for two hours, the participants get the chance to sing and
dance to the hits performed by their favourite characters from the show as
well as other popular songs. Then, 'lights, sound, action!', there is an on stage
showcase for friends, family, and the public at the end of each 10 week program.

Presented in conjunction with Douglas College Community Music School,
Tom Lee Music Learning Centre and R&R Music, Glee Camp Vancouver gives
people a chance to meet others that share an interest in singing, dancing, and
all things 'Glee'. Vocal instructor Sara Zacharias says, “We aren’t requiring a specific
level of experience to participate in Glee Camp. Creating a great environment for
people to express themselves and do what they love is our goal." The end product
ends up fabulous, not because everyone is a professional level singer, but because
we draw on the unique strengths of each camper to highlight their voice. The
common goal is having fun and finding joy in music.
The cost for Fall after school Glee Camp is $295 for 10 weeks.
Registration and song list suggestions are underway at
