Summer Programs

The Best Part of Your Child's Summer

Summer at Encore is the highlight of the off-season. Every camp is taught by our own faculty, every week ends on a stage, and every dancer goes home already asking when they can come back.

Why It Matters

A Summer That Does More Than Keep Them Busy

Summer at Encore is not a babysitting program with a playlist. It is a real dance experience, built around real instruction, real creativity, and the kind of stage energy that sends kids home buzzing every single day.

We offer four types of summer programming designed to meet dancers exactly where they are, from a four-year-old stepping onto the studio floor for the very first time to an advanced dancer using the off-season to sharpen their technique before the new dance year begins.

Every camp ends with an in-studio performance. Every class builds on real skill. And every dancer leaves with more confidence, more artistry, and more love for what they do than when they arrived.

FAQ

What Parents Ask Us

Right here is everything you might want to know before registering.

When does summer registration open?+

Summer registration opens February 1 each year in the Encore Performers Parent Portal. Camps fill up quickly, especially themed weeks and the Broadway Dance Intensive. We strongly recommend registering as early as possible to secure your preferred sessions.

Does my child need prior dance experience to attend a camp?+

Not for our Mini Camps or themed Dance Camps for ages 6 to 13. Both programs welcome first-time dancers and returning students alike. The Broadway Dance Intensive is designed for advanced dancers at the ITP and ETAP level and does require prior training. If you are unsure which program is the right fit, contact us and we will help you find it.

What do I need to know before my dancer's first day of camp?+

Dancers should wear comfortable, form-fitting clothing that allows for easy movement. Leggings or fitted shorts with a tucked-in top are ideal. Specific shoe requirements vary by camp style and will be communicated at registration. For Mini Camps, ballet shoes or bare feet are typical. For Hip Hop camps, clean sneakers are required. Additional details on drop-off and pick-up times, snacks, and what to bring will be shared with registered families ahead of each camp session.

What is your cancellation and refund policy?+

Summer program cancellations are subject to the following schedule based on how far in advance you cancel:

  • Cancellation 4 weeks before start: $25 cancellation fee
  • Cancellation 3 weeks before start: 75% of tuition refundable
  • Cancellation 2 weeks before start: 50% of tuition refundable
  • Cancellation 1 week before start: 25% of tuition refundable
