DIFFERENT DANCE STYLES
Our dance camp offers your kids an immersive experience of learning a range of different dance styles throughout the week! Kids will develop their rhythm and movement through the diverse styles of Jazz, Ballet, Contemporary, Hip Hop, Gymnastics and West African drumming. Our experienced teachers offer a fun learning experience adapting to the needs of each student. Each day offers a full range of dance styles for your dancer!
WEST AFRICAN DRUMMING
Get into the rhythmic nature of West African drumming through our specialized kids drumming classes! In our camps, students will receive unique and culturally explorative workshops that will develop their musical and rhythmic abilities.
PERFORMANCE ARTS & CRAFTS
Kids will channel their visual arts skills through craft creation activities! They will learn how to create props and accessories that compliment their dance routines of the week. These arts and crafts activities will deepen their connection to the performing arts experience, adding to their holistic understanding of being on stage.
MUSICAL THEATRE
With the guidance of our talented teachers, kids will develop their musicality and vocal awareness. Using popular musicals and film soundtracks, students will expand their performance skills through learning songs and fun activities.
COMMUNITY BUILDING
We believe dance is not only an opportunity for kids to come together and learn performing arts but to build community and friendship with one another. At Gotta Dance, our teachers and staff create an inclusive, fun and encouraging environment for kids, fostering togetherness among their peers!
PERFORMANCE TIME!
Throughout the week, kids will learn a routine in each class that they will perform on the last day of camp! This provides students a goal to work towards in their week of camp. Students will collaborate with their peers and build performance confidence resulting in a small showcase for their family and friends!
