Summer Dance Camps
DANCE CO ARBUTUS | July 14-18, July 21-25, July 28-August 1, August 5-8 (4-day camp)
Dance Co’s Summer Dance Camps are the perfect way to introduce new and aspiring dancers to different disciplines. For more experienced dancers, it’s an excellent opportunity to improve technique and explore artistic potential!
Dancers will have the chance to learn a short dance in each discipline they study throughout the week. A keepsake of this performance will be shared with families.
Younger dancers will have the opportunity to try a variety of dance styles as well as make new friends through crafts, games, and story time.
We can't wait to dance with you this Summer Break!

Lunch & Snack Breaks
During camps, students will be given lunch and snack breaks. Dancers are to bring their own snack/lunch.
Preschool, Pre-Primary and Primary dancers are supervised by our faculty in their classrooms during their breaks.
Older students are welcome to bring their own lunch, or they can purchase meals in the surrounding area, should they receive permission from their guardians.
Please ensure that your dancer brings a water bottle to class with them. We have fountains at the studio where they can refill throughout the day.
Dance Co is a nut-free zone - all snacks and food for camps must be nut free and cannot be shared.
Performances & Videos
On the final day of camp (Friday), students will perform a short routine in each discipline they have been studying to the other camp groups! The dancers have a lot of fun showing off what they have rehearsed all week.
These in-class performances will be shared with parents via video as a keepsake!
