Summer 2024
Please find information regarding our Summer Classes as well as our Summer Dance Camps and Intensives. We would love to see your dancer in the studio this summer. Read more to learn about how important summer study is for young dancers.
We highly encourage all of our students to take summer classes, camps and intensives to keep up with their progress through the long break in yearly classes. Without the stress of academic school, your dancers are more focused, less tired, and therefore can make a huge amount of progress in a small amount of time. So, if your child is on the cusp of being ready to move to the next level, summer classes may be just the thing to propel them forward.
Another reason we so highly encourage our students to take summer classes is so they don’t regress. Summer classes can help our students maintain their skills, continue to improve and ​to build on all the hard work they put in during the year.
