The Skate Dance DreamTM organization was founded by 2000
U.S. Junior Champion and International Competitor Parker Pennington when he started coordinating his own charity benefit
shows, directing and producing the successful Skate for Life
benefit for the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
He realized that there was a niche to inspire developing skaters
by connecting them with U.S. and International competitors and
helping skaters develop their artistry, musical and choreographic
expression on the ice through benefit shows. SDD has recently
developed a camp format with the assistance of Executive Director Marissa Diaz, a former coach, LTS director and U.S. Figure
Skating Program Components Camp team leader.
The NC Super Camp will be the second U.S. site to host this
unique camp experience for skaters in the U.S. Figure Skating
skate school Freestyle 1 through Senior Free Skate levels.
Campers will be divided by skate school or Moves in the Field
levels. On Ice sessions will cover Choreographic and Musical expression, Transitions and Footwork. Off the ice, skaters will have
an entertaining time with the legendary Paula Wagener in Character Development, Dance and Interpretation.
Through the cooperative work of three area clubs — Skating Club
of NC, Triangle FSC and Central Carolina SC — we have worked
to bring you an affordable and memorable camp experience that
is not to be missed!
