Every year choreographer Angela Trimbur hosts an adult sleepaway dance camp in the Poconos. This year’s theme was “Grease: Camp Rydell.”
A talent show was one of the many joy-filled activities in the camp’s itinerary.

As adults it’s rare to have such a precious space designed for us to let go and play. All of a sudden we’re teenagers again, but with less fear of rejection and more self-assuredness. Girlhood is precious, friendship is irreplaceable, and growing up only means we can prance HARDER.
