Full Day Camp - Dance Through Time: Jazz, Ballet, Modern and Bejeweled: Taylor Swift Camp - Ages 7-10

Camps | Available

Join us for a full day of camp with “Dance Through Time: Jazz, Ballet, Modern” camp in the morning and “Bejeweled: Taylor Swift Camp” in the afternoon! Full-day camp includes lunchtime care between 12:30-1:00pm at no extra charge! 

Dance Through Time: Jazz, Ballet, Modern (9:30am-12:30pm)
Travel through time, exploring the roots and evolving styles of jazz, ballet, and modern. Dancers discover when and where these forms come from, how they’ve changed over time, and how their own ideas can become part of what comes next. Each day brings a new mix of styles as students rotate through jazz, ballet, and modern classes. The week culminates in an informal showing where dancers perform in all three styles and share student-created dances that bring history and imagination together!


Bejeweled: Taylor Swift Camp (1:00-4:00pm)
Make the whole place shimmer as you dance through the iconic eras of Taylor Swift. Campers explore choreography inspired by some of Taylor’s greatest hits while singing along, creating friendship bracelets, and adding sparkle to their own pop star style. Each day blends dancing, music, and colorful hands-on projects that celebrate what makes every dancer unique. Don’t let this be a “Cruel Summer”—join us for a week of dancing, singing, and Swiftie-inspired fun!
