The Yard’s summer program offers kids six separate week-long workshops, from July 6 to August 14, for children entering kindergarten to eighth grades. Each week will be different, each designed to nourish students’ imaginations while introducing them to basic skills of theater, music, movement, circus, yoga and stage combat (sword flashing, Harry Potter/Star Wars style).

Children will share what they have learned in family showings on Fridays and will perform alongside Yard festival artists in the Saturday family matinee. Workshops meet 9 a.m. to noon Monday to Friday with Saturday performances.

Tuition for children enrolled in Vineyard schools is $250; for non-Island residents, $300. Scholarships are available. For details or to register, call 508-645-9662 or e-mail admin@dancetheyard.org.
