We offer seasonal vacation camps for the avid dancer or kid who just wants to try some new things! Campers are immersed in dance education in creative ways with new styles, dance history, fun workshops in anatomy, nutrition, arts and crafts and more! Make new friends, dance your heart out, create something new and express yourself.
Roots & Rhythm is a joyful, high-energy February Break camp where children explore the powerful connection between dance, music, history, and culture. Through movement, rhythm, and creativity, dancers learn how African traditions grew into African American and Afro-Latin music and dance styles we see today.
In celebration of Black History Month, students learn history in the most meaningful way possible—by dancing it, drumming it, creating it, and experiencing it together.
