A summer that makes your dancer better, not rusty.

From a two-year-old's very first class to a teenager preparing for competition season, we built four programs so every dancer keeps growing over the summer. Find your dancer below, or download the free handbook to see all four.

All four programs, every date, tuition, and what to expect

The Summer Problem

Three months is long enough to lose a year of progress.

For a dancer, summer is not a break; it is the training window that decides who walks into fall ahead. Technique either improves or slips. And for younger families, it is the long stretch of figuring out what to do with the day without putting a child in front of a screen.

"Dancers don't pause over summer. They come back better, or they come back rusty."

Every program below is built so your dancer spends these months growing, not standing still. Find yours and see exactly how it works.

Four programs. Every age. Every level.

Each one answers a different worry for a different dancer. Find yours, then open its page for the full schedule, dates, and tuition.

Ages 2–4 · No experience needed

Mini Movers

Single camps from $45
What you're thinking

"She's only three. I don't want to commit to a whole season just to find out if she even likes it."

How we solve it

A relaxed first introduction, with no commitment.

Mini Movers is four separate themed camps where your child tries ballet, acro, jazz, and creative movement, makes a craft, and leaves more confident than when she arrived. Book one camp to try it out, or all four for the summer. Each one is two hours and builds the focus, listening, and social skills you will notice at home.

Ages 5–18 · Beginner to advanced

Class Session

From $215 per session
What you're thinking

"If she takes the whole summer off, she'll come back rusty and spend all of fall just catching back up."

How we solve it

One evening a week keeps her training.

Class Session is one evening a week of training, with dancers placed by level (Kickstart, Fusion, or The Core) across ballet, jazz, acro, hip hop, and contemporary. Corrections stay fresh and technique keeps improving instead of slipping. Choose four weeks in June, four weeks in July, or the full eight weeks for the most progress. It is the easiest way to keep your dancer improving over the summer, around whatever else your family has planned.

Ages 5–11 · Full-day intensive

CampXcel

From $195 per week
What you're thinking

"I need the day covered for the summer, but I don't want my child sitting in front of a screen until pickup."

How we solve it

A full day of real dance, not just supervision.

CampXcel is a full-day, Monday to Friday program built entirely around dance: 20 hours a week across every major style, taught by our full-time faculty and guest artists from top studios across the country (last summer we hosted over 30, including educators from DanceTown Miami, Club Dance Studio, and West Florida Dance Company). By Friday your child has learned new styles, made friends, and improved measurably. Optional extended care covers early drop-off and late pickup, so the day fits your work schedule.

Ages 12–18 · Convention-style intensive

XCELERATE

From $245 per week
What you're thinking

"She's serious now. She has real gaps to fix, and I don't want to waste the summer before the season starts."

How we solve it

Targeted training that fixes weaknesses before the season.

XCELERATE is a three-day intensive that targets your dancer's specific weak points with focused flexibility and technique work, then builds on them through convention-style choreography and training with guest artists from top studios across the country. Your dancer gets the same level of training and faculty as a national convention, without the travel and hotel costs, scheduled right before the competitive season begins.

Questions

Frequently asked

Does my dancer need experience?+
For Mini Movers and our beginner tracks, no experience is needed at all; those programs are built for first-timers. For Class Session, CampXcel, and XCELERATE, dancers are placed into a level (Kickstart, Fusion, or The Core) by our faculty so they are challenged appropriately, whether they are brand new or training year-round. If you are unsure where your dancer fits, the handbook explains every level, or just reply when we follow up and we will help you place them.
How does billing work?+
Summer tuition is billed in two installments based on program dates. Anything taking place in June is charged on June 1st, and anything in July is charged on July 1st, automatically through the payment method on file. If you register after one of those dates, you are charged at the time of enrollment.
What is your refund and cancellation policy?+
Summer programs are planned months in advance, including staffing, studio space, and guest artists, so tuition becomes non-refundable once the billing date has passed. We do not issue refunds, credits, or prorated adjustments for missed days. If space allows, families may request a transfer to a different week or program up to seven days before the start date.
What should my dancer wear and bring?+
Dancers arrive in convention dancewear with ballet shoes, jazz shoes, and clean hip hop sneakers that have not been worn outdoors; dancers ages two to four participate barefoot. Hair is secured neatly off the face. Every dancer brings a labeled water bottle. CampXcel dancers also pack a lunch and snacks (nut-aware foods are encouraged), and Mini Movers bring a small snack.
Can my dancer do more than one program?+
Absolutely, and many families combine them. As one example, dancers enrolled in all weeks of CampXcel can attend Class Session on their off-weeks in June and July for the price of the 4-week Class Session. The handbook shows how the programs fit together so you can build the right summer.
How do we register?+
New families create a Jackrabbit account, and returning families log in through the Parent Portal, then select the weeks, sessions, or camps you want. Registration is complete once selections are submitted, the deposit is paid, and your account info is up to date. The handbook includes the direct registration link and a QR code to get you there fast.
