LOADING EVENTS

THE WEEK

A Full Immersion in Hip Hop Culture

A Danzversity Camp is a full week of Hip Hop — Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 3 PM. Kids ages 5 through 15 spend five days learning the moves, the music, and the cultural roots that make those moves matter.

This isn’t a generic summer dance camp. It’s an immersion in the elements of Hip Hop culture — movement, music, visual art, and community — taught the way Jaymie Howard, our co-founder and Creative Director, teaches everything: with care for the craft, respect for the roots, and zero tolerance for the kind of competitive pressure that turns kids off dance forever.

Each day moves through technique blocks, Culture Drop sessions on the history of Hip Hop, free movement, music + art activations, friendly cyphers, and a structured cool-down circle. The week ends with a Friday showcase for families — not a recital, not a competition, just kids sharing what they made together.

Camps run during summer break and on most school holidays. Check the upcoming camps section above for confirmed dates.

WHAT TO EXPECT

What a Camp Week Looks Like

Six things every camper gets across a full Danzversity camp week. Drop them off Monday curious; pick them up Friday with a crew.

The Movement

Daily technique blocks led by Jaymie or a featured instructor. Foundations of Hip Hop, breaking, popping, and locking — broken down so any beginner can follow, layered so experienced movers grow.

The Culture

Every camp day opens with a Culture Drop — a short, age-appropriate lesson on where Hip Hop came from, who the pioneers were, and why the moves carry meaning. Knowledge is part of the dance.

The Showcase

Friday afternoon is the showcase: families come into the studio, kids perform what they learned, and we celebrate the week. Low pressure, high energy, no auditions, no eliminations.

The Crew

Five days side by side builds bonds you don’t get from a one-off class. Most campers leave with new friends — and most weeks have a few siblings, neighbors, or new faces who come back for the next camp.

The Take Home

Kids leave with real choreography they can perform anywhere, vocabulary for the foundational moves, and a Culture Drop card or two for things they didn’t know about Hip Hop on Monday.

The Drop-Off Process

Drop-off opens at 8:50 AM. Pickup is at 3 PM sharp. Studio doors close shortly after pickup — we don’t offer extended care, so build that into your week. Kids bring their own lunch each day.

DAILY FLOW

A Day in Camp

Every camp day moves through the same rhythm so kids settle in fast and parents know what to expect. Times shift slightly Monday vs Friday for orientation and showcase prep.

QUESTIONS

Before You Register

Quick answers for camp parents. If your question isn’t here, email dance@danzversity.com.

What ages can attend Danzversity dance camps?

Camps are for kids ages 5 through 15. Younger campers and older campers move through the same daily flow but rotate through age-appropriate technique groups during class blocks.

What time is drop-off and pickup?

Camp runs Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 3 PM. Drop-off opens at 8:50 AM, pickup starts at 3 PM. We do not offer extended care before or after camp hours.

Do you provide lunch?

No — campers bring their own lunch each day. Pack something easy to eat in 30 minutes. We have a refrigerator and microwave available, plus filtered water for refilling bottles.

Is there extended care before or after camp?

No. Camp ends at 3 PM and the studio closes shortly after. If you need a flexible pickup window, plan for a friend or family member to grab your camper at 3.

What should my kid bring to camp?

Comfortable clothes they can move in (sneakers required), a labeled water bottle, lunch + snacks, and a small backpack. We suggest leaving valuable electronics at home. We provide all dance materials, art supplies, and music.

Do you offer single-day registration or only full weeks?

Both. The Full Week Pass is $395 (Mon–Fri, includes the Friday showcase) and is eligible for our 10% sibling discount when two or more campers register from the same family. The Single Day Pass is $85 — useful if your week is split or you want to try one day before committing.

What’s your camp refund policy?

Full refund if cancelled 14+ days before the camp start date. 50% refund if cancelled 7–13 days out. No refund for cancellations within 7 days of the start date or for missed days mid-camp. Full refund policy at danzversity.com/legal/refund.

Will my kid perform at the end of the week?

Yes — every full week ends with a Friday showcase for parents and family. Campers learn a routine over the week and perform it Friday afternoon. It’s low pressure, high energy, and parents are welcome to film.
