Keep your kids moving this summer at the City Dance Corps Summer Camp, where they can share their love for dance, stay active, express themselves and have fun! Young dancers aged 4-11 can spend their summer vacation learning dance styles and making new friends at this energizing day camp. Plus, City Dance Corps offers full-week programs with both full days and two half-day options in the mornings and afternoons, making it convenient for busy families to fit into their busy summer schedule.
At City Dance, the young dancers light up the dance floor together in a non-competitive and community-minded environment. Furthermore, to ensure all dancers feel comfortable and confident, the camp is also divided into smaller groups based on the participants’ ages. The program is open to all kids, including both new students and those experienced in dance training. All the campers need is some energy, enthusiasm and a smiling face!
At their bright and modern studio in the west end’s Dupont & Dovercourt neighbourhood, the dance instructors at City Dance Corps love to keep Toronto’s kids moving. In fact, they have been teaching their high-quality dance classes with the utmost technical standards since 2002! During the camp weeks, the kids can learn so many different dance styles that they never get bored, including Hip Hop, Contemporary, Ballet, Breakin, Jazz, Afro, Latin, and more.

Little movers and shakers aged 4-11 get creative and have fun at this dance camp, filled with laughter and learning.

The City Dance Corps Summer Camp includes:
- Exploring various styles of dance
The City Dance Corps Summer Camp teaches kids lots of diverse dance forms, including Hip-Hop, Ballet, Jazz, Contemporary, Musical Theatre, Afro, Breakin, Salsa, and more! What’s more, because each day features a different schedule of dance classes, the campers have a new and exciting adventure every day. While the experienced instructors guide the campers through the basic dance moves, the children are also encouraged to uncover their own dance talents and realize their full potential. - Getting crafty
When the participants aren’t dancing, they keep busy and active with crafting activities to channel their artistic side. In particular, the campers will make colourful masks and art to complement their dance performances and find new ways to express themselves. - Learning performing arts techniques
The campers get to learn about various performing arts too! Along with dance classes, there’s so much to explore, such as music, set design, and basic choreography. These lessons give campers a further understanding of the arts, which helps boost their confidence while performing on stage. Naturally, all of these activities are taught by the expert City Dance Corps dance teachers so the young dancers can become well-rounded performers. - Making friends and having fun
One of the most important parts of summer vacation for kids is socialization, and at City Dance Corps, kids build lasting friendships while learning the many forms of dance! Your child can bond with their fellow dancers and create amazing memories together. In this supportive and encouraging environment, kids with a passion for dance and the performing arts can find their kindred spirits! - Talent Show
