What Makes Our Dance Camp in Sale Different?

Unlike a typical summer activity club, our dance camp in Sale is led by experienced dance professionals who are passionate about inspiring young people. Every element of the week is designed to offer more than entertainment — we aim to spark creativity, promote teamwork, and support growth through movement.

Dance-Led, Not Just Supervised

Children learn multiple styles throughout the week, including:

  • Freestyle

  • Acrobatic

  • Lyrical

  • Ballet

  • Musical Theatre

  • Modern Jazz

Daily warm-ups and structured sessions develop rhythm, technique, and strength

Run by Professional Teachers, Not Playworkers

Our holiday dance programmes are led by the same team who deliver our year-round classes. You can meet our teachers here, and feel confident knowing:

  • All staff are fully qualified, DBS checked, and first aid trained

  • Our teachers are specialists in their genre, with backgrounds in performance, education, and safeguarding

  • Each class has additional support staff for younger children

Designed to Fit Around Real Family Life

We understand the pressures working parents face during school holidays. That’s why our kids' dance camps are structured to provide dependable care that doesn’t compromise on quality or enjoyment.

Daily Schedule

  • Camps run Monday to Friday during Easter and summer holidays

  • Morning drop-offs and end-of-day collections fit around working hours

  • Optional early drop-off and late pick-up available on request

  • Take part in daily creative games and dance-based challenges

  • Design crafts and props related to the end-of-week show

  • Build a group performance with costumes and lights

Not Just a Dance Camp – A Personal Journey

Many of our regular students first discovered their passion through a holiday dance camp. These camps are a fantastic way to try dance for the first time, especially for children who are shy or new to structured activities.

We welcome:

  • Children aged 4–12

  • Both beginners and experienced dancers

  • Siblings and friends (we’ll do our best to group them together)

Every child is known, encouraged, and celebrated — whether they’ve danced before or it’s their very first time in a studio.
