SUMMER INTENSIVE CLASSES & CAMPS
Incredible summer programs for experienced dancers.
Our summer programs have featured a Rockette, the winner of SYTYCD Canada, a member of Alberta Ballet, and top notch professionals.
Our summer dance intensives are meant to get dancers conditioned and prepared for the upcoming dance season, with a focus on stretch, strength, conditioning and tech tune up. Intensive camp will also focus on the whole dancer and important topics to help build resilience in each participant. We can’t wait to grow dancers into strong, confident humans through these intensive dance camps.
This year our theme is Elevate – an immersive summer camp experience designed for competitive dancers ages 6 to 17 who are looking to take their skills to the next level.
Led by top-notch instructors and choreographers, this intensive camp provides comprehensive training in multiple genres, and exposes dancers to dance forms they don’t otherwise see in their training.
Dancers will develop their technique, artistry, and performance skills, while also gaining valuable insights into the dance industry.
In addition to dance training, Elevate Dance Intensive also provides a supporting and nurturing environment where dancers create lasting memories. The camp encourages personal growth and self-confidence as well as teamwork and collaboration.
