CAMP FACILITIES: Dancing Arts Center's professional facility includes 3 studios with sprung sub-flooring and Harlequin marley overlay, sound equipment, separate men's & ladies restrooms and changing rooms, air conditioning, ample parking, and on-site playground. Convenient and safe location!

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: A summer dance workshop is a rare opportunity for students (ages 4-18) to focus on dance, uninterrupted by competing demands of school and other activities. Warm days rich in dance, music, choreography, stage craft classes and the finer understanding of the body that comes from studying anatomy, physiology and nutrition combine for a powerful experience - even for the youngest students!. Students learn about costume design, stage-craft, dance history, and experiment with their own creative ideas as well. They also enjoy seeing and discussing video recordings of classic and new dance performances that connect our students with dancers worldwide.

Main Division students also take classes in classical ballet, pointe, jazz, modern, repertoire, and other character dance, learn advanced stage makeup and present an end-of-workshop performance in the studio theater. And when it's time for a break, dancers of all ages relax with picnics and enjoy the outdoor play area. It's a perfect way to make new friends, work hard on skills, learn something new and make summer count for something spectacular.

All faculty have extensive professional experience.

Fun and play must be accessible to individuals of all ages. They provide opportunities to make friends, share experiences, discover abilities, and uncover talents. At The Bridge Center, we work to ensure that all children have the necessary supports to push their boundaries while having fun!

Building Bridges to Learn
The Bridge Center provides hands-on experiences in a safe, nurturing environment that empowers children, teens and adults to acquire meaningful skills they will use throughout their lives. In all aspects of our programs, participants and families learn to trust themselves, adapt to new situations, respond to challenges, and take pride in their successes. Our trained staff work with participants one-on-one and in small groups to ensure that learning is an integral part of every experience.

Building Bridges to Grow
Supportive experiences have the power to shape the way our participants identify their place in their ever-expanding worlds. Here at The Bridge Center, we help individuals develop the confidence, awareness, and insight that enables them to draw on their prior experiences for active participation at home, in school and throughout their communities.
