Over a dozen Broadway and international artists, including cast members from hit shows The Lion King, Fela, Bring It On, Book of Mormon, and the original productions of In The Heights, Swing! and Kiss of the Spider Woman, among others, will donate their time as volunteer teachers for R.Evolución Latina's 5th Annual Dare to Go Beyond (D2GB) Children's Performing Arts Camp, scheduled for July 16-20.

The 4th Annual D2GB Children's Performing Arts Camp is coming to a close! After an inspiring four days at Pearl Studios, there's only one day left and it's time to celebrate the growth of our campers as they share what has been learned over the course of the camp.

R.Evolución Latina's D2GB (Dare to Go Beyond) Children's Performing Arts Camp concludes tomorrow with a very special celebration at El Museo del Barrio. R.Evolución Latina, who has been featured on NBC's Nightly News with Brian Williams in a segment called 'Making a Difference', is a collective of artists and activists committed to empowering the artistic community in order to inspire growth within the Latino Community through collaboration, productions, and educational support programs. An added focus to this year's camp is health awareness and the importance of physical activity as we address the growing concern of obesity in our Latino children. 'Through the arts, we will empower the youth to recognize the importance of leading and maintaining a healthy life' says Camp Coordinator Ali Solomon. This free camp will provide more than 150 underserved children ages 7-17 the chance to experience the arts through classes taught by NYC and international artists from the theatre, music, dance, and Latino communities. 'This camp is very inspiring and also fun... It's like a mission that we have to accomplish during this week, I'm just loving everything about it.' said Rosa Fermin one of the students.

R.Evolución Latina is happy to announce that their 4th Annual D2GB ('Dare to Go Beyond') Children's Performing Arts Camp began today and has expanded to run for a FULL Week, from July 18th to July 22nd, 2011. The program has been recognized in local media as NY1's 'New Yorker of the Week' in 2010 as well as being honored with a feature spot on NBC's Nightly News with Brian Williams in a segment called 'Making a Difference'.
