About In My Dance Era (June.T-F) or (July.M-TH)

Welcome to IN MY DANCE ERA CAMP (Taylor Swift themed). Your child has officially crossed off a BLANK SPACE on the roster and added his/her name to the VIP list! 

SPECIAL NOTE ***This camp funs T-F June 18th-21st, and M-TH July 22nd-25th 9am to 12pm with a snack break.

Celebrate being in your Swiftie era at your favorite pop icon inspired dance camp! Campers are encouraged to channel their inner Taylor and dress up in their favorite era as we learn a dance to one of our favorite TSwift hits. We’ll have time to craft friendship bracelets reminiscent of those exchanged at Taylor’s concerts. It's the perfect blend of music, dance, and fan culture, tailored for Swifties ready to shine. 

We are expecting a fun and exciting summer camp season with all of our campers. You are registered for the session dates listed on your ticket. Be sure to mark your calendar! This four day camp starts at 9:00am and ends at 12:00pm each day. 

You will be required to sign your child in and out of camp each day at the front desk.

Each day will be filled with fun, hands-on activities that will allow your child to explore dance, improvisation, theatrical storytelling, and discover their inner gifts. They will learn foundational principles of dance in ballet, jazz, ballroom, and contemporary. Below is a schedule of topics that will be explored each day. 

Day 1 “Fearless Era”: 

Wear your best Fearless Era outfit (that you can dance in). This day is about performance techniques/games - foundations of Improv and storytelling. Make our ERAS performance backdrop, and make new friends as we start to learn how to improv together. Learn a fun combo for our final performance too! 

Day 2 “1989 Era”: 

Wear the outfit of your Wildest Dreams Era (that you can dance in). Learn tips and tricks to become the dancer you always dreamed about. Today's focus is on leaps and turns! Bring a notebook and learn how to set S.M.A.R.T. goals and create a vision board. Materials provided for all crafts.

Day 3 “Reputation Era”

Are you ready for it? Wear your best Reputation Era outfit (that you can dance in). Choreograph your own dance today and learn how to give your best dance audition. We will have a mock audition with a panel of judges and positive feedback for each dancer.  

Day 4 “Midnights Era”: 

Be your own Anti-hero and wear your best Midnights Era outfit (that you can dance in). Floor work and flexibility is the theme today. Get ready for conditioning tips and learn how to stretch your body safely to increase your beautiful lines! Parents are invited for an in-studio showcase concluding our camp at 11:30am.

We will break at 10:45am-11:15am everyday for snack time.

Notes for a successful experience:

  • Please leave all electronic devices in your bag.
  • Food is not provided during camps. Please send your child with a fruit or vegetable mid-morning snack as well as a water bottle. Water will be available for refills. Please label your child’s water bottle with his or her name.
