Get Up and Dance

Get Up and Dance Summer Dance Camp 2017 Jazz, hip hop, breakdancing, cheer, country, acrobatics, bollywood, and musical theatre will all be included in the camp!

Artistic Director, Whitney Ringstead, is excited to host our 5th annual Summer Dance Camp, which includes a full week of dance classes, activities, games, yoga, and arts and crafts. Dancers not only get to experience and learn choreography from all of these styles of dance, they also have the opportunity to create some choreography of their own. The week concludes with a pizza party and an energetic performance to showcase their new moves!

It is with deepest regret that we announce the cancellation of our Get Up and Dance Summer Dance Camp (week of August 13-17). Unfortunately, some of our key staff members are unavailable and we were not able to secure a suitable location for the camp.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

The Get Up and Dance team is incredibly grateful for the wonderful 5 years of summer camps and we are hoping to continue to offer this camp in the years to come.

Thank you.

Our dancers have had an incredible week so far! They have learned several dances, some of which were styles they have never tried before like country line dancing and cheerleading, they did some cool arts and crafts, played outside, watched a movie with popcorn, had an acting class, and had fun trying a Pound Rockout Workout class!

Tomorrow at 4pm at the Ramada Inn, they will get to demonstrate the awesome dances they have learned this week to their family and friends. Everyone is invited! It's a free of charge show you don't want to miss!
