Dance Camp for Every Type of Dancer

My girls have been dancing at RPAC (Ridgewood Performing Arts) for years. Yep, that’s her in the middle. The smile says it all! Although my daughters are at difference stages in dance: my older daughter is passionate about dance. She’s very focused and dedicated to it. My younger daughter is a free spirit; she likes to leap and laugh and just wants to have fun. Both of them have found a place for themselves at RPAC. When they arrive home on dance days, they are energized joyful. RPAC has built up their confidence in their abilities, in their bodies and in who they are.

Here’s your chance to give RPAC a shot in case you haven’t already–or–to keep you on your toes (literally) during the summer. RPAC offers a wonderful variety of classes that are 3-5 days long for all ages.While my daughter might not want to participate year round in all styles of dance, the summer is the chance dip their toes into something new.
