DANCE CAMPS
There is a camp for everyone! See above for dates

Concord’s Original
STORY BOOK DANCE CAMP
est. 2004
Mother Goose has nothing on the memories your child will create during their week at Story Book Dance Camp! Every day children will dive into the art of dance through a different story book, such as “Pirates Don’t Change Diapers” to classics such as “Cinderella”. Each day is filled with dance, arts & crafts, story time, and games all based on that book. Over the course of the week, children develop a performance, presenting it to their family and friends at the end of the week.
This camp, designed to draw on the 3-5-year-old’s natural desire to dance, uses children’s favorite stories to present a carefully planned curriculum in a fun and entertaining way. In this creative-movement-based program, children learn the fundamentals of ballet, tap, and jazz, developing weight transfer and balance skills while also improving improvisation and cooperation skills.
“Wildcats” Dance Camp
Inspired by the hit movie “High School Musical”, dancers will become part of the Wildcat team! Dancers will get their heads filled with their favorite moves while creating memories that will last a life time. Developing their Jazz, Hip-hop, and performance skills, participants will even have a little time to add their own Wildcat choreography into the mix! This camp is designed for children grades K through 5 and will include lessons appropriate both for beginners and seasoned dancers. Children will be separated by grades.
In this week-long camp, dancers will create costumes, practice routines, and develop a performance to be presented at the end of the week.

You’re a Cheerleader    Camp!!!
Send your daughter or son to a fun-filled week of Cheer Camp. Participants will have a great week learning motions, jumps, basic tumbling skills, side-line cheers, dance/cheer routines, and basic stunting. With our new location at the East Concord Community Center, Children will be able to stunt everyday, whether indoors or outside at Merrill Park.
What a great way to introduce your child to cheering or to keep working over the summer on what they already know!!!

WAITING ROOM ETIQUETE
As the dancers practice dancer’s manners in the class room it is very important to remember manners in the waiting areas for both dancers and observers. It has been brought to our attention that at times the waiting areas are becoming very loud. Please remember to respect others in the waiting areas and keep noise to a minimum. Please make sure that all siblings are being watched.
