WARSAW — Looking for summer activities that are filled with excitement and imagination?  The summer programs at Debra Collier’s School of Dance feature dance and theme camps along with short summer sessions of Discover Dance, Ballet, Hip Hop and more. From camps with the studio’s own princess to workshops with a nationally-known guest choreographer, the studio has something for everyone.

For more than a decade the studio’s summer dance camps have been a community favorite.  This season’s camp themes include Shimmer & Shine, Tinkerbell, Beauty & The Beast, Ballerina Barbie and their new, week-long camp, Movies & More.  Full descriptions, dates and details for the camps can be found on the studio’s website.

“My daughter looks forward to dance camp every summer.” says parent Teresa Craig.  “The studio always goes above and beyond to make it a magical time for the kids and the new Extended Care option is great for our busy schedule.”  Extended Care is available before and after every camp.

The studio is excited to add the new, week-long camp, Movies & More to their lineup. The camp will take boys and girls behind the scenes of the movie Trolls to discover everything from dancing to costume creation, stage makeup and more.  The excitement lasts for hours during this day-long camp for ages 4½-12.

The six-week summer program offers classes for dancers ages 18-months and up, including, Mommy & Me, Tiny Tots, Discover Dance, Beginning Ballet, Hip Hop and Ballroom.  Two Summer Intensives are also available for Contemporary and Modern students, as well as multiple one and two-day Specialty Workshops.  “Summer provides a great opportunity for students to try dance during the short sessions”, explains DCSD owner Deb Collier.

DCSD has a long history of providing opportunities for their students to learn from master teachers from across the country.  This summer they are excited to have Princess Grace Award recipient Josh Manculich, as a guest instructor.
