Summer Programs 2026
Registration Deadline June 1st! 5 Week Summer Class Schedule coming soon.
We're so excited for this year's Summer Programs at CCDC, a season of creativity, growth, and meaningful movement.
Our summer camps and intensives are thoughtfully designed for dancers and children of all experience levels, from first-time movers to dedicated dancers ready to deepen their training. Each program balances structure with play, challenge with joy, and technique with imagination.
​
Themed camps invite younger children into immersive, story-driven experiences filled with dance, crafts, and games, while intensives offer focused training and artistic exploration for more experienced dancers.
​
Across every program, dancers are supported by experienced faculty in an environment where they feel seen, confident, and inspired, making summer at CCDC a place to move, grow, and thrive!​
