4 Ways to Spend the Summer Dancing

The Dance Effect PAC offers a program for every schedule this summer.

April 16, 2021

Summertime means beaches and fun and new adventures.  For many, it also means hectic schedules; between family activities, vacations, and finding time to relax, it's not always easy to find time for everything your family wants to experience throughout the summer.  This is why The Dance Effect PAC is giving four fun options to fit even the busiest of calendars.  

1). Summer Camps

Weekly themed summer camps will run July through August.  Kids ages 4 and up are welcome to participate.  Camp includes dancing, crafting/prop making, snacks, and weekly performance. Camps are drop off, Monday through Friday, 9am-11:45am.  

  • Pirates & Mermaids (July 5-9)
  • Rotten to the Core- Descendants (July 12-16)
  • Holly Jolly Christmas in July (July 19-23)

2). Summer Classes

4 week class sessions are available for ages 2 & up.  Students will learn skills & choreography in a variety of disciplines.

  • Summer Session 2 (August 2-27)
  • Classes offered for ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, hip hop, acro & more!

3). Crafterinas 

Drop in 1 hour classes.  Crafterinas are designed for kids to have a fun morning or afternoon.  Each is centered around a theme and includes dancing and crafting! These are perfect one-off events for those who can't commit to a week-long camp or class session. This year there will be several Enchanted Crafterinas, which will have a special appearance by a real life princess!

  • Available Select dates June-August 
  • Wednesdays- 9:30-10:30 am - Ages 3-4 & 10:30-11:45 am - Ages 5-8

Workshops are offered on specific Tuesdays (9:45-11:45 or 1:00-3:00) or Saturdays (1:30-3:30) June through August.  Workshop themes include:

  • Intro to Tumbling
