Four reasons why summer dance camp is great for children
Looking to keep the kids entertained this summer break? Enrol them in a summer dance camp and they’ll have the summer of their lives! Here are four reasons why summer dance camps could be an awesome experience for your little ones…
Keep moving
Summer dance camps keep your kids moving and grooving, thus improving their physical health, flexibility, balance and coordination. Plus, other activities offered at a kids’ summer dance camp, such as games and crafting, often take place outside and serve to bring the little dancers to summer’s signature fresh air and sunshine.
Develop new skills
Not only do kids learn new moves in dancing, but they also can become competent in playing different instruments. Moreover, they are able to discover their artistic talents in crafting. But don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what one happy parent had to say: “The performance on the last day was really amazing in showing ALL that they accomplished in just one week. The fact that the kids knew an entire tap routine, could do their individual ballet performance, and incorporate instruments and puppets as well, was no small feat in such a short amount of time!”
Boost self-confidence
Summer dance camps can help build self-confidence. As children master new dance skills and become more aware of how their bodies work and move, they will gain a sense of accomplishment and pride. Check out this testimonial: “My kid absolutely loves your EvOLvE summer camp. It has helped her self-esteem to see that she has some natural talent as a dancer.”
Learn teamwork and social skills
All Dance to EvOLvE camps culminates in a performance intended to showcase what the kids learned in summer camp. In the final Friday performance, dancers themselves organize the show as a team. They learn how to communicate with their peers effectively in student choreography, music selection, show management, and costume design. Throughout the process, students learn an important lesson that is helpful in their real-life after camps: contributing to the success of the group is empowering to each individual.
“Just want to say that Ms. Shirley is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. She is great…so full of energy and there is not one dull moment in class. Ms. Shirley keeps them engaged the whole time and my daughter can get quite bored and distracted quickly and she stays involved the entire class with Ms. Shirley…so I just wanted to say thank you!”
“We first discovered Dance to EvOLvE through a free dance program they put on at the local library. Since then, my daughter has been taking a Tiny Movers class for almost a year now (tap/ballet combo) and she absolutely loves it! Miss Amy is an AWESOME teacher! She is very knowledgeable about dance and makes the classes fun, age-appropriate, and encouraging for the kids. We’ve done a few makeup classes also and all the other teachers we encountered were so friendly, professional, and great with the kids. The company makeup policy is very flexible, which was so helpful when we had to miss class due to illness or travel. My daughter recently participated in her first recital and it was SO GREAT! The teachers did an incredible job preparing for a quality show. The dances were eclectic, the costumes were top-notch, the price was reasonable, and the kids seemed to have a great time! Overall, we have LOVED our experience with Dance to EvOLvE and plan to continue classes this summer and fall and beyond. We highly recommend this company if you’re looking for dance classes for your child!”
“Brittany White is a consummate professional who has created a unique and outstanding dance instruction enterprise with Dance to EvOLvE. From the moment I met Brittany and she presented her teaching concept to me, I was sold! I was fortunate to have Brittany and her staff teach dance to my middle school students at a large and successful after school program for several years. EvOLvE staff did not just instruct dance, but showed the students how to choreograph their own dances, a skill and talent that will last them their lifetimes. The EvOLvE student dancers loved their dance classes and teachers very much! I watched students transform from shy and reserved to outgoing and adventurous dancers and choreographers under EvOLvE’s tutelage. Both the dance classes and all student performances were truly first class. Brittany is also an excellent and well organized event planner on top of her knowledge of dance and teaching. I highly recommend Brittany White and Dance to EvOLvE!”
“My daughter is constantly playing ‘I’m Ms. Sara and you’re taking my dance class.’ She uses all the terms she has learned– passé, arabesque, heel-toe, etc. and leads her little sister, her dad and myself in a class, helping us out if we are doing a move incorrectly. She even gives us a sticker on our hand and a hug when ‘class’ is over. :-)”
“I enrolled my daughter in a tap/ballet class through our community rec center. The instructors with Dance to EvOLvE provided age-appropriate direction for the children, and kept it fun and engaging for the hour-long class! My daughter absolutely loved class. I’ll definitely be signing her up for the next semester!”
“Thank you so much! I know that my daughter will enjoy this season. EvOLvE has been a great experience for her! We were so surprised and pleased when we saw her get up in front of an audience and introduce a dance number and more than one! That is something she would never have done before EvOLvE.”
“Miss Dianna…All your dance classes are wonderful! You do amazing things with the kids!”
“We have only just started dance classes with our 2 year old but my daughter loves it so far and cannot wait to go to her next class. Miss Megan is a great teacher, very patient and positively reinforcing with the little kiddos. I highly recommend both Miss Megan and the organization as a whole.”
“You guys are so great! I am always surprised what you can bring together in a week!”
“I wanted to let you know how much we absolutely loved the recital. It was so well done and so much fun. Having the teachers dance at the end was a fun surprise and we really enjoyed that! My daughter started taking classes with EvOLvE in April and this is her first experience with dance. We adore her teacher, she is so wonderful with the girls. Thank you for making her first dance recital such a wonderful experience for her. She’s still doing her tap dance all over the house!”
“I saw a review of EvOLvE come up in my Yelp feed and decided to give it a try. My daughter is 2.5 and the ballet/tap class was exactly what I was looking for! Short (45min), simply and fun! Her teacher was absolutely wonderful! She is bright, sweet, encouraging yet strict. All the girls were having a great time! If you’re looking for a hard core competitive dance class for your child this is not for you but if you want something easy and fun then sign up! Prices are very reasonable too!”
“We enrolled the girls on Saturday and they loved the class! They’re also really excited to be doing tap for the recital this year! My husband and I were just talking about how much we appreciate the high quality program you run at EvOLvE. Thanks to all of you for the wonderful job you do with our children!”
“My daughter is currently enrolled in the Saturday class and I plan to sign her up again for the fall session. She really loves the teacher, Miss Andrea.”
“So happy to see the progress in the parent observation class today. Just wanted to share how extremely happy we are with our experience here. Miss Andrea has done an AMAZING job with my daughter and helping her develop a love for dance! Thank you for an excellent experience!”
“Ms Andrea has developed such a wonderful rapport with all the students. My daughter is extremely shy and following a year of instruction at another ballet school we decided to try Dance To EvOLvE. My daughter has since blossomed and has really developed a love for dance and I think that is attributed to the great job Miss Andrea has done.”
“Our daughter is loving the Tap/Ballet class in Orange with Ms. Brittany. I am so impressed with the quality of this program. Ms. Brittany and the team have made it such a wonderful experience for her!.”
“My daughter attended tap/ballet dance class [at the rec center] on Saturdays. She told her teacher that she’d see her next Saturday. That’s a glowing review from a 4 year-old.”
“We started with Dance To EvOLvE a few months ago, and my daughter loves it! Miss Megan is so patient with the girls and does such a good job on keeping them focused! We will continue to attend the tap and ballet combo class and I would recommend it to anyone with kids boys or girls!”
“We love Dance to EvOLvE! We started in the Magical Munchkins class when my daughter was two. It was so hard to find a class for that age, and this one was perfect. Super fun and quick pace to keep their attention, my daughter loved it. She has now been going non-stop (just took 2 months off for summer) and she looks forward to it every week (as do I)! She has now moved up to the Star Shiners class, and is learning a lot. She loves practicing her moves at home. If you are looking for a non-competitive and fun environment to learn dance, this is a great option.”
“I love what dance class is doing for my daughter. She’s a really shy little girl. Since taking these classes, she’s really come out of her shell. She’s created new friendships as well. Ms. Andrea is amazing with all the little girls. My daughter talks about what Ms. Andrea taught her as soon as we get home.”
“We were not going to have Liliana in the recital and changed our minds. I thought she would just stand there on stage but she really enjoyed herself today. I want to thank you guys, especially Andrea, for helping my little shy girl come out of her shell a bit more. She is really loving dance and pretty much spends the whole day moving and singing.”
“This was our first recital and a fantastic experience for our daughter (4 yr). We had a terrific time!”
“I just wanted to let you know how impressed we all were with the showcase. It was obvious that you and the volunteers put enormous effort into it. We were also pleased with Cielo’s performance. She looked like she was really having fun and enjoying being on stage. I think that is one of the most important things.”
“Thanks for a great show and for making dance class so fun for Maddie.”
“You did an amazing job today at the showcase! Thank you so much for being an inspiration and for being so patient and kind with your students. Your volunteers were very organized and had a smile on their face the entire time they were working.”
“Sarah is WONDERFUL. She is so sweet and good to the kids in dance class. Ilsa really likes her. She’s a great dance instructor!”
“I also wanted to let you know how much we absolutely loved the recital. It was so well done and so much fun. Having the teachers dance at the end was a fun surprise and we really enjoyed that! My daughter started taking classes with EvOLvE in April and this is her first experience with dance. We adore Miss Jenny and she is so wonderful with the girls. Thank you for making her first dance recital such a wonderful experience for her. She’s still doing her tap dance all over the house!”
