Written by Mimi McKinnis
We’ve all been there as parents — the littlest voices asking ever-so-sweetly to do an activity over and over (and over) again, only to change their mind about that activity after they get started. Are the voices in your house asking for dance classes? Maybe they’re already dancing, but want to try a different style. Or maybe you can’t get them out of the studio and their summer classes just aren’t enough! If you’re both a little hesitant (lest you forget about the short-lived t-ball phase or the roller skates STILL in a box in the closet), or if you’re looking for some extra dance time this summer, Turning Pointe has just the solution.
Mini Camps offer three days of fun and dancing for students wanting to test the waters of dance class or a new dance style. They’re all of the fellowship and fun without the long time or recital commitment. With Twirl/Primary Camps (for 3-7 year olds) and Elementary Camps (for incoming 1st graders through outgoing 5th graders), and fun themes ranging from Frozen to Trolls and The Descendants, there’s a camp for every up-and-coming dancer!
What is a Mini Camp?
Mini Camps are three days full of friends, crafts, parties, and of course, DANCE!
For Twirl/Primary Camps: The first two days will be spent doing a rotation of dance and crafts, followed by dance, a tea party, and a parent performance on day three.
For Elementary Camps: The first two days will be spent learning about the history, culture and importance of a dance style, taking technique class, doing crafts and learning choreography. On the third day, students will dance, have a party, and perform for their parents.
Who are Mini Camps for?
● Students who are new to dance
● Students wanting to try a new style
● Current dancers who want extra summer fun!
