Summer Kids Programs

We provide our students with a dance foundation, intertwined with fun throughout the day and prioritize the quality of dance education in the studio to improve your child's non-academic intelligence over the Summer months. These theme dance weeks are designed to introduce your child to ballet, tap, jazz, and acting with activities that are fun for the summer months. Each week will include arts & crafts geared toward the theme of the week, outside water activities, and a special picnic. Students attending must be potty trained and age 3 by January 2024 to attend.
