FROM THE DIRECTOR
Dear SSDA Parents, We would like to thank you for supporting your child’s love of dance. Thank you for trusting our vision. As a dance teacher and studio owner, I love seeing all the same things in my students that I felt when I started to dance. Being able to work with students that have such wonderful gifts, talent, passion, and potential has been amazing. It’s something I love and something I can’t live without. I am so thankful that I have been given the opportunity to share my love of dance with so many wonderful dancers, parents, and friends. Our goal is to provide the best possible training in dance, as well as to guide our students in developing their minds and personalities through learning self-discipline, commitment, and working with others. We strive to create a positive, caring atmosphere for all of our students to learn dance. Our teaching is built on a foundation of fundamentals and integrity. Our love for the students encourages us to continue working towards bringing out the best in each of them. Last but certainly not least, I wouldn’t be writing this if it weren’t for you. You are the reason for every part of the studio. Every decision is made with you in mind. Thank you does not cut it, but please know that I value you, and I appreciate you. With a grateful heart,
“The strength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack.” – The Law of the Jungle

summer dance
intensives
WHY SUMMER INTENSIVES? Our one-week dance intensive camps are the perfect way for children – ages 7 and up – to learn about dance, make new friends, and create lasting memories. Summer break brings to mind images of rest and relaxation, but even a couple weeks away from the studio can result in a loss of flexibility, strength and technique. Summer provides the perfect time for young dancers to immerse themselves in dance while establishing the opportunity for great improvement in skill and technique. Classes tend to be smaller, making way for accelerated progress due to greater focus.

FUN IN THE SUN COLOR DANCE CAMP
LET'S GO OUTSIDE NATURE DANCE CAMP
Follow the rainbow and dance on it for this colorful week of dance. Each day we will create our crafts around a specific color. Dancers are encouraged to wear the color of the day to camp.
Connect with the natural world through movement and art! Each day a new exploration awaits – learn how dance concepts like Energy, Flow, and Pathways relate to living plants, animals, weather, land, and water. Dancers see, feel, and discover nature in art and art in nature. Dance class and art projects are linked thematically to support deeper understanding and engagement in the creative process. Campers will explore the water cycle, weather, bugs, plants and more. This is a fun and upbeat camp that integrates many different styles of hip-hop including pop and lock, street style, and break dancing!
