Theater Dance Workshop: Ages 8-12
August 17 - 21
Join us for a dynamic workshop designed for young performers enrolling in Grades 2–IF in 2026/27.
Each day, participants will learn dances from famous shows, act, and sing while developing performance skills and confidence. This camp focuses on storytelling, teamwork, and bringing scenes to life through expressive movement and theater techniques.
The program runs from August 17-21 from 9.00-4.00pm.
Dance Pass: Age 12+
August 25 - September 3
Designed for dancers entering Intermediate Foundation and above, dancers return to basics and tune up their technique in preparation for a successful dance year. Classes will start slowly with a steady increase to bigger jumps and increased pointe work as dancers regain stamina and fitness levels after summer break. This is the best way to prepare for a healthy and safe return to dance. Classes taught by MDA Faculty.
Classes will run Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5.00-7.00pm August 25 – September 3.
