Summer at Sandra’s

Our 2024 summer program comprises continuation classes, four-day themed children’s camps, and a two-week intensive featuring a variety of dance genres and conditioning.

Continuation Classes

Tuesday, May 28 - Wednesday, June 12

For dancers who desire to maintain an after-school routine and want the feeling of a semi-private lesson, these classes afford an opportunity to learn RAD work that wasn't emphasized during the dance year and receive customized instruction that will help them refine their skills and build confidence.

4:45-5:30 | Primary & Grade 1, $65

5:30-6:30 | Grade 2, $85

Children’s Camps

These theme-based camps for boys and girls include high-quality, age-appropriate dance instruction, crafts, and storytelling. Fun choreography will promote rhythm and musicality while introducing foundational ballet movements. No prior experience necessary! Dancers may wear comfy clothes, ballet attire, or costumes. Parents and caregivers are encouraged to join us for a short performance on the last day of camp.
