Dance Camp 2024- Swifities, Trolls, Bootcamp and More!

Enrollment is now open, but filling fast!

April 5, 2024

One of my girls favorite weeks of the summer is dance camp week. Last year, my younger daughter attended the Miss Angelica's Dollhouse (Gabby's Dollhouse) week and my oldest still isn't quite over being just a tad jealous.  Not only was there tons of dancing, but each day she came home with a craft.  The crafts were on theme, unique to the day and high quality.  Finally, on Friday we all experienced the big in-house show.  Our dancers got to show off all the moves they learned throughout the week  complete with costumes and props! This year, needless to say, my girls will be attending dance camp together. If your kid is into dancing, creating, and hamming it up for a performance at the end of the week, you'll definitely want to check out this summer's camp options at The Dance Effect Performing Arts Center.


Since summer schedules can be hectic and we can't always commit to weekly activities  The Dance Effect offers a range of options to dance all summer long.  First up are  one day workshops designed to improve your skills.  Choose from lyrical, Rockettes, or Sidelines (think cheer/dance team).  Crafterinas are a great way to bring a pop of fun to your summer routine.  Dancers enjoy an hour of crafting, dancing, and burning off tons of energy.  For those who would like a consistent weekly activity, check out summer dance classes.  Ballet, hip hop, acro, jazz, tap will all be offered. Finally, themed weekly camps for a full emersion experience!
