If you’ve hit the pool, had a picnic, or found a new playground to explore, your families’ summer is off to a great start. But have you sprinkled some magic into your child’s summer plans? We are currently enrolling in all of our Themed Summer Camps and Training Camps, and we’d love to help you spice things up!

So what does your child gain when you sign them up for Summer Camps at DU? 

• A kid-centered environment dedicated to them. Summer is hard for parents! We know it’s difficult to give your kids the undivided attention they need while juggling your normal commitments. At DU Summer Camp, we’re entirely focused on making their summer days incredible! That means no more listening to work meetings or watching TV alone… Hooray! 
• A way to stay active. We’ll be moving, grooving, and dancing to their favorite tunes. 
• A chance to dance in a low-stakes, creative environment. While our school year classes are more focused on skill-building, summer camps are all about being creative and learning through play. Our main goal is to see our students smile! 
• Time with their friends and peers. When school is out, kids start to miss their friends! Summer camp gives them time to see one another while taking the pressure off of YOU to schedule a playdate! 
• An imaginative world filled with adventure! Our camp themes include Princesses, Frozen, Unicorns, and more. We make your little one’s wildest fairytale dreams come true. 

So what are you waiting for? It’s time to save your child’s spot today! Here’s a breakdown of our remaining summer camp offerings:

If you’re coming off of a year spent mostly at home, it may be difficult to know if your child is ready for in-person activities once again. You may have questions about returning, and we’re here to ease your worries! 

How To Know If Your Child Is Ready for Summer Dance Camps:

1. They Understand How to Stay Safe With Others

During this strange time, you may be wondering if it is safe to send your little one to social activities. In our experience, our dance students have adapted SO well. As long as your child is comfortable wearing a mask, refraining from touching others, and keeping a distance, they are ready to join us! 

We also strongly encourage talking to your child about handwashing and best hygiene practices, but we’ll remind them along the way as well. Check out the rest of our COVID-19 safety procedures here! 

2. They Have a BIG Imagination! 

If your little one is obsessed with fairytale adventures and whimsical stories, they belong at our 2021 Summer Dance Camps! Separated by age, we’re offering two magical camp options this summer for kids ages 3-7.

Princess Camp: Ages 3-5
July 8-9 & August 3-4
Does your child LOVE to get dressed up and feel like royalty?! Polish off those tiaras and waltz over to our Royal Dance Hall for ballet class, creative movement, crafts, and a snack in the banquet hall! 

Fairytale Camp: Ages 5-7
July 12-15 & August 9-12
Has your little one memorized the words to ALL their favorite fairytale music? It’s time for us to put some dance moves to those tunes as we delightfully journey through ballet and creative movement classes!

3. They Are Missing Their Friends

For those families who didn’t feel comfortable returning to the studio this Fall, we’ve missed you so much! If your comfort levels have changed and your child misses playtime with friends, our camps are perfect for their summer calendars! Connecting with others, dancing their hearts out, and expressing themselves is what our Summer Camp experience is ALL about! 

4. They Love to Get Up and MOVE!

Is your child bouncing off the walls at home? Do they love being active and getting their energy out? Send them our way this summer! Packed with movement activities, engaging crafts, and dance foundations, summer camps are a great way to stay active. We promise they’ll be ready for a nap once they head back your way!

So, are you in?! If you checked off most of these signs, your child is ready to join us at our 2021 Summer Dance Camps! Our campers will come home each day with a few new dance steps to show off at home, a special memory with their dance friends, and their favorite fairytale dream coming to life! 

We can’t wait to see you there! Space is limited due to social distancing guidelines. Save your child’s spot today!
