Summer 2026
Our summer program offers something for every dancer, at every stage. From beginners taking their first steps to experienced dancers refining their technique, our classes and camps are designed to keep dancers active, inspired, and having fun all summer long.
Throughout July and August, we offer themed dance camps for ages 3–10 filled with dancing, games, creative arts and crafts, snack time, and story time for our youngest dancers. When weather allows, dancers will also enjoy outside time in the park across the street from the studio.
For dancers looking for more focused training, we also offer 6-week summer class sessions that provide consistent instruction and skill-building throughout the season.
