Our camps are designed to inspire confidence and creativity while keeping kids active and engaged. With flexible options ranging from half-day and full-day camps to summer evening classes, there’s something for every dancer’s busy schedule.
Wondering what’s in store when you sign up for dance camp? Here’s a sneak peek at what makes summers with Synergy unforgettable.
Starting Off on the Right Foot: Morning Warm-Up
Each day at dance camp begins with a buzz of excitement as campers arrive, greeted by our team of talented dance instructors. Our full-day camps start at 9:00 a.m., while our half-day tot session kicks off at 9:30 a.m.
Once everyone has had a chance to settle in, our camp leaders will get things started with a warm-up. This session is all about waking up the body, building energy, and setting the tone for the day ahead. A combination of stretching and light movement helps even the most energized dancers get the wiggles out.
Getting in the Groove: Where Dance Meets Imagination
Every day at summer dance camp is a chance to explore something new. During our full-day recreational programs, campers explore a variety of dance styles. From ballet and jazz to hip-hop and contemporary, the assortment of genres we incorporate gives every dancer the chance to build new skills. It’s all about helping your child discover what makes them light up on the dance floor.
Our half-day camps for our youngest dancers take the excitement to the next level. Each day, our dance teachers bring the adventure to life with themes designed to spark your child’s imagination while introducing them to the joys of dance. From themed storytimes to dress-up days, every moment is carefully crafted to keep even the youngest campers engaged.
Beyond the Beat: Creative Breaks and Fun Activities
Even the most enthusiastic dancers need a break! Throughout the day, campers will have a chance to unwind with fun activities that keep the imagination flowing while giving their bodies a much-needed break. Unique crafts, games, and team-building activities keep your child engaged while encouraging self-expression and plenty of social interaction.
Which Camp is Right for Your Dancer? Full-Day vs. Half-Day Camps
We designed our summer dance camps to meet kids where they’re at. From half-day sessions for our youngest dancers to technique-focused competition intensives, our programs are tailored to all ages and skill levels.
Half-Day Tot Dance Camp (Ages 3-5 Years)
Our week-long Tot Camp welcomes dancers between 3-5 years old. This half-day session runs from 9:30 a.m. to noon and offers a gentle introduction to movement and rhythm for beginning dancers. Imaginative games and activities are woven into every session to ensure your little one is always having fun.
Full-Day Recreational Dance Camp (Ages 6-12)
We offer a full day of movement, creativity, and fun to dancers aged 6-8 and 9-12. Between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., campers will be exposed to a variety of dance styles, offering a perfect sampler for kids looking to try a little of everything! Crafts and games connected to the theme of the day are always incorporated throughout the session to keep things balanced.
Competition Team Intensive (Ages 8+)

Campers will have the opportunity to practice in a supportive yet challenging environment designed to prepare dedicated dancers for our elite competition teams.
Summer Night Classes (Ages 4+)
Our three-week summer night session is designed to accommodate dancers with busy schedules—or those who just want to add a little extra dance into their day! Campers can choose from classes covering a variety of styles, including classics like ballet, jazz, hip-hop, and lyrical dance.
