We have summer camps for ages 3-18. They are fun filled opportunities for your dancer to learn more than they ever could at another camp. CMSD’s camps have been described as more educational than a New York dance intensive and more fun than a recreational sleep away camp, and it is available right in your area! We have four tiers of camps that allow your dancer to fill their summer in the way that best suits their ability. The camps will conclude with a mini showcase, where all campers will have the opportunity to show off their newly learned skills. Students will be split up on the first day of camp based on AGE, DANCE TECHNIQUE AND LENGTH OF DAY. 3-7 year old students have the option to sign up for morning only or the whole day. It is suggested that 3 year olds only do a half day.

Camps run from 9-5 daily with the option of early drop off (8:00AM) and late pick up (6:00PM)

June 24- August 23.

Prices are for 1 week of camp unless otherwise stated

Our youngest and least experienced campers can plan to enjoy a fun filled morning with a myriad of creativity including, but not limited to ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop, gymnastics, story time, singing and art.

Action for Safety is a self-defense and violence prevention program for girls aged 10-13. The overarching goals of this national initiative are to increase the number of girls and young women who have the skills and resources to protect their physical autonomy and personal safety; to help girls and young women recognize and claim their right to be free from sexual harassment; and to provide girls and young women with opportunities to act collectively to reduce the level of violence in their communities and in their lives. Girls will discuss the 6 Stars of Self Defense along with participating in hands on activities. Girls will also discuss the importance of taking care of themselves through nutrition and physical activities.
