Next week’s Adventures in Enchanted Lands camp features a special collaboration with Gradient Dance Theater and Community who will lead campers on an amazing underwater adventure exploring movement.
Campers will each receive two tickets to Gradient’s June production of “Watermark,” a ballet by Laura Reinschmidt that explores the depths, currents, and mysteries of the ocean through movement.
About the Adventures in Enchanted Lands Camp: Step into a world fueled by imagination! Campers will create their own mermaid stories, hunt for dragon eggs, and craft sparkling fairy wings. Each day is filled with art, dance, and storytelling in a week of magical adventures and endless creativity. Camps are led by professionally trained teaching artists in our studios, and include a special collaboration with Gradient Dance Theatre on Tuesday of camp!
Big day for these students! Learning to sew your pointe shoes is a big deal, and they’ve worked really hard to get here. Congrats! 🩰
Only a few spots left in this mid-June camp that includes a variety of dance classes and an end-of-week performance. Send your 3rd to 6th grader for an exploration in dance!
As the 2025–2026 school season comes to a close, we are filled with gratitude for the sponsors who help make our Dance Partners Program possible.
Because of your generous support, we have been able to reach more than 1,000 students each week directly at their schools and service organizations, creating space for movement, creativity, belonging, and exploration.
It takes a village to bring meaningful dance experiences to children across our community. Thank you for championing arts education and helping make dance possible for every body!
