Summer camp

One of the best day camps in all of SWFL

Ages six to fourteen, nine to four, Monday to Friday. Seven sessions are scheduled for summer 2026.

What a camp day actually contains

The studio calls it one of the best day camps in all of SWFL, and the shape of the day is why: camp incorporates fun with learning, so strength, flexibility and new skills across dance styles, rather than a single style repeated for a week. Every session includes snacks, games, activities and dance classes, and the day runs 9 am to 4 pm.

It is a full day, which is the point for a working summer, and it is dance-led rather than a holiday club that happens to have a dance hour in it.

The Friday performance and pizza party

Every week ends the same way: the campers perform what they built that week, and then there is pizza. It gives a five day camp an actual finish line, which is why children who came for one week tend to ask about the next one.

What to pack and wear

  • Comfortable clothing that moves. No jeans, no stiff shorts, no dresses, no oversized clothing.
  • A refillable water bottle
  • A packed lunch

The clothing rule is not a dress code for its own sake. Stiff shorts and oversized clothing are the two things that stop a child attempting a skill they are otherwise ready for, and a full camp day is long to spend in the wrong clothes.

How deposits and the waitlist work

Price
$150 per student for one week
Siblings
$10 off for each additional child
Deposit
A $50 non-refundable deposit is required per week to hold a spot
Pro-rating
No pro-rating for a late start or an early leave
Waitlist
First come, first served

Because weeks are held by deposit and the waitlist is first come first served, the popular weeks go on when families ask rather than on when camp starts.
