☀️ SUMMER DANCE & TUMBLE CAMPS ARE HERE! ☀️

Looking for a fun way to keep your dancer active, growing, and confident this summer? Our summer camps are the perfect opportunity to LEVEL UP skills before the new season begins!

At camp, dancers and tumblers will:
✨ Improve technique, flexibility, strength, and coordination
✨ Build confidence in a positive and encouraging environment
✨ Learn new tricks, skills, and choreography combinations
✨ Stay active and continue progressing over the summer

Summer is one of the BEST times for dancers to grow because they can focus on skill-building without the stress of school schedules and competitions.

Summer camps are a GREAT time for new to BDA dancers to check out what the studio and classes are all about! It is a great way for our new littles to get comfortable before the season begins.

NEW THIS YEAR!!
July camp will offer a "Dance with Me" class for our youngest dancers aged 18months-3years. Come try it out with us and see if we should continue it for this coming season!

Spots are limited, so don’t wait to register!

We can’t wait to dance, tumble, laugh, and grow together this summer at BDA! ❤️

New members register here:
https://sites.google.com/view/bancroftdanceacademy/classes/camps?authuser=1

Returning members register in your parent portal under "Classes" and filter to June and July Sessions.

Please follow age guidelines, reach out if you have questions or are interested in a higher or lower level based on previous skills classes.

Help me in wishing Ms. Karissa a very happy birthday!! 🎉
Fun fact, I got to coach Karissa her senior year in high school dance 🪩, she babysat my kids when they were babies, and she’s taught them all how to swim 🏊‍♀️ 🥰
At the studio, you’ll find Karissa teaching tap and hip hop or working with competition routines. She’s always on top of the costume options for us too!
Thanks for all you do for us Karissa, we hope you have the BEST day!
