CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Aspiring young dancers, producers, filmmakers and artists now have a place to hone their skills and get expert advice from hip-hop industry insiders.
The West Virginia State University Extension Service is sponsoring a Hip-Hop Boot Camp for kids entering the sixth through 12th grades. The camp will take place from July 26 to 30 at Camp Virgil Tate in Charleston.
"It's a camp that really focuses on the hip-hop music industry," said Paul Henderson, the West Virginia State extension agent who oversees the camp. "It gives kids the opportunity to participate in different tracks."
Campers can take lessons in dance, voice, music production, filmmaking, graffiti art or photography. The camp will also encourage exercise, nutrition and entrepreneurship.
Henderson said the overnight camp is designed to reinforce the behind-the-scenes aspects of the hip-hop industry, which he considers essential for succeeding in the music business.
"There's a lot more than what they see on MTV or BET," he said.
