Dance Camp
Why Choose a “Dance Camp”??
Dance camps introduce your child to a wonderful world of fun, creativity , activity and socialization. A camp is designed for group interaction and co-operation. The camp exposes your child to a wide variety of music, dance, instructors and new friends! Each camp is theme based and works with the individual personalities of the campers. If your child has expressed an interest in tap or ballroom, and has never taken the class, the dance sampler is a wonderful way of trying types of classes for a short period of time. Super Hero Camp finds all of the powers that individual super hero’s have. Everything from strength to, flexibility and speed is found in this camp.

Cartwheel and Backhand Spring Camp! You’re going to flip for this camp! Sorry, couldn’t help it…. If your child is involved in cheerleading, or simply is having trouble mastering the age old cartwheel, this camp is for them. This is a tried and true way of teaching the cartwheel. The camp is taught by our very own former gymnast, Miss Colleen. The weight bearing arm and the push of the supporting leg is what carries the body through the air. In her soft and gentle way, Miss Colleen will help your child understand and feel confidant doing cartwheels with straight legs and pointed toes.
