Who else is ready to wish away ALL things winter?! Snow, ice, puffy jackets… bye! We are officially in summer prep mode and we can’t wait to share what we have in the works at District Dance. We have planned our best line-up of summer camps and intensives yet!
Here at District Dance, we believe it’s super important for our dancers to get in the studio over their summer break. Not dancing for 3 months and then jumping back in once the fall comes is hard on their bodies and can set back their dance progress. Summer is a GREAT time for students to have fun in the studio without the stress of the school year. They will come back to the studio in fall ready to pick up exactly where they left off!
Each week this summer we are hosting a different fun and fancy summer camp for dancers ages 3+. All camps include a unique storyline, dance classes, games, crafts, outdoor playtime, and an end of the week performance, making them some of the best summer camps in Germantown. Each camp is divided by age, offering a half-day experience for 3-5-year-olds, and a full day of fun for ages 4-10.
We are also offering a full-day dance intensive for our dancers looking to take their technique to the next level.
Before-care and after-care are available to make our dance parents’ lives a little easier! Our week-long camps are happening all summer long, so check out the descriptions below to figure out which week (or weeks!) are perfect for your dancer! We’ve also included extra details to help you decide which camps would be the best fit for your dancer. Still, have questions? Let us know! We are happy to help.
We can’t wait to see our dancers in the studio this summer!
