Dancing Grounds has committed to offering youth programming year–round for five years. As we move in to our eighth year of operation, we will be making some significant programmatic and infrastructure changes to ensure we are providing the best dance education to our community, in the most effective and financially sustainable way possible.

Considering the time, planning, and intentionality needed to implement changes at this level, we need to carve out more time this summer for our staff to plan and prepare. Unfortunately, that means for the first summer in five years, we will not be offering our Dancing Grounds Summer program in 2019. On the bright side, we are using summer 2019 to plan for new summer camps in 2020 that will expand to include teenagers so your children can grow with DG until they graduate from high school.

 Our summer camp break could be a wonderful opportunity for our students to try something new! Your child can get a different perspective on dance, try a new art form, or do something totally different.
