What is the typical daily schedule for campers?

For our young dancer day camps (ages 2.5-6), the dancers do a warm up with the teacher and take a dance class! Class is followed by snack time and then craft time. Activity time comes next – your dancer can expect to do obstacle courses, freeze dance, ‘bean bag boogie’, ‘animal action’ and other follow along with songs all while using various props! They will also learn a short dance to be able to perform at for families at the end of the week!

*Crafts and themed dances do not repeat throughout the whole summer – so join us for multiple weeks to receive a discount!

For our Youth Dance Camp, dancers will take various different classes – ballet, pointe (if applicable), jazz, modern, musical theatre, hip hop, Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT) and various seminars throughout the 6+ hour day!
