Summer Dance Camp FAQ:

What are Dance Camps?

Dance camps are a fun way for dancers to learn and play for 15 consecutive hours. Throughout the week, they learn 4-6 dances which are presented at the end of the week to families. Each camp is 5 days long, follows a specific theme, has a daily unique craft, and presents a mini show. For 2024, we are offering camps for two different age brackets; 4-9 yrs and 5.5 or 6-11 yrs. 

​

Who can do Dance Camps?

All of our morning (9AM - 12PM) camps are for ages 4-9 yrs. Almost all of our afternoon (12:30-3:30PM) camps are for the 5.5/6-11 yrs age bracket, except for weeks 1, 2 and 4 — which are now also for 4-9yr olds due to increased demand. During these 3 weeks (1, 2, & 4), any age from 4-9 can enroll in the full day camp. Students do not need previous experience or dance exposure to enroll. Friend groups are welcome!

​

What is the difference between the younger and older camps?

Our younger (4-9yrs) camps focus more time on creative activities, story creation and dancing, and prop dancing. Each day follows the same format: dance, snack, story, dance, craft, cool down. Themes are usually centered around a place or character that is easy to visualize for young children. For example, in “Fairytale” camp (week 9), the dancers will read and act out various fairy tales, embody common themes and characters found in fairytales, complete fairytale-related crafts, and present fairytale-themed dances in their show. 

 

Our older (5.5/6-11yrs) camps focus much more time on technique, which usually relates to the theme of the camp. For example, camps like “Musicals” (week 3) will focus on types of dance that are common in the theatre world — such as tap and jazz. Each day the dancers would focus exclusively on those styles. It is a great opportunity for dancers who want to refine their technique in a specific style, with 5 days of consecutive movement. This is also a great way for dancers to try a type of dance that is new to them and come away with enough technique and/or vocabulary to feel comfortable taking that type of dance class in the future! Similar to the younger camps, each day will follow a specific schedule: dance, snack, dance, craft.

​

Can my child take both morning and afternoon camp at once?

Yes! If your child falls in both age brackets for that week, we have the option of full-day camps. They are required to pack a sack lunch each day in addition to their snack, which they would eat between the camps during lunch/rest time. As our themes are unique to each camp, there will not be overlap in activities.

 

Do you offer before/after care?

Yes, for an additional fee we can accept students half an hour before the morning camp begins, or the lunch period between camps can be added on.
