THE DMA EXPERIENCE

Founded in 2002 by technology educators from Stanford University, and led by former Stanford educators and interactive education and entertainment creators from Apple and Walt Disney Studios - Digital Media Academy delivers a world-class digital learning experience.

Learn video game design, iPhone and iPad App development, Google Android app development, robotics, computer programming using Java or C+++, digital filmmaking, digital photography, website design, 3D modeling, animation and so much more.

Beginning to advanced student campers age 6-18 learn by doing with hands-on instruction from industry professionals, with real-world experience. DMA builds and develops STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) skills - many of DMA’s instructors have literally written the book on the subject that they teach.

At DMA, students experience life on the campus of a prestigious American university like Stanford, Harvard or UCLA (just to name a few) while making friends and learning with others who share the same interests. Small class sizes (8:1 max) guarantee a personalized experience. Students work on their own personal project in every class.*

A two-week summer program sponsored by The Dan Kane Singers, and open to all girls and boys, ages 6 to 15, who love to sing, dance, and perform! JULY 1st-JULY 12th.

This summer program is so fortunate to have gathered a talented array of professionals who can foster and enhance the talents of your child through both their teaching ability and professional performing experiences. In addition, a talented group of teenage performers become their mentors and friends!

If your child enjoys singing, this will be a fun and fulfilling experience! We intend to make it a comfortable, exciting, creative and energetic environment for all of the students. Rarely does a child of this age have the opportunity to sing with live musical accompaniment, and we have put together a staff dedicated to helping your child be a successful performer. It should be a thrilling experience for all levels of students.

The music in this program will focus on “The American Songbook.” Except in the Karaoke part of the program, students will NOT be covering the pop vocalists your children may listen to at home. Please discuss this with your child so that he/she is aware that the genre of music is Standards, Classic Jazz Hits, Broadway, etc.

Our program is geared towards teenagers (currently in grades 9-11) who are dedicated to the arts and interested in Jewish life.

BIMA participants will enjoy:

-advancing their skills in chamber ensemble, jazz, and choral music, painting, creative writing, and acting with professional artists.
