Educational Summer Dance Day Camp (3-5yrs)
“This summer, Terpsicorps wants to give your preschooler a unique opportunity to learn through dance. As a parent, you want to make sure that your little one is both having fun and broadening their understanding of the world. With this in mind, we have devised six weeks of exciting themed camps that can be purchased as a package or per week. Children will learn about each theme through dance, music, crafts, story time and more. We like to use a student’s creativity and imagination to teach them about the world around them through both structured activities and short spurts of monitored but unstructured play.
- Days last from 9am-1pm.
- Each week will end with a short performance for the parents from 12-1pm on Friday.
- The first two weeks of classes will include a daily visit into the Terpsicorps rehearsal studio to watch the professionals at work.
- All participants are given 1 child and 1 adult ticket to see the Terpsicorps Children’s Matinee performance on June 24.
