A Sneak peak into a week at Luv2Groove Summer Dance Camp!


Summer’s around the corner and we’re super excited to announce that we’ll be running five weeks of summer camp in five different locations this year! For those of you considering a Luv2Groove summer camp here’s a sneak peak into what our week looks like and includes.

First of all, your kids need to be prepared to have fun, sweat a lot, play games, dance, meet new friends, create and customize their very own hip hop hat, tye dye camp their camp t.shirt, swim, learn from a guest artist and perform at little show at the end of the week for family and friends!

Every morning campers will arrive between 8:30 and 9. During this time, campers have free time to settle in, play games and relax before our 9 a.m. start. (On the first day we play icebreaker games and get to know ALL the campers names).  Once everyone has arrived, we begin our warm-up by getting everyone moving, grooving and having fun! This consists of a dynamic warm-up getting the blood flowing and heart pumping. We then lead the kids into a groove follow along where we go through a variety of dance steps that are funky and easy to follow. After a few groove songs, we lead a thorough stretch to prepare everyone for the awesome day ahead!

After that comes our morning dance class, this where we teach new dance steps, skills, drills and dance routines. Our morning block usually runs for an hour and 15 minutes. We then give the students a short 15 minute snack break after our morning dance class. After snack, we try to head outside for games before the sun gets too hot! During our outdoor activities, the whole group will engage in games such as, man hunt, capture the flag, cops and robbers and more…

After being refreshed from the outdoors, we enjoy our lunch in the gym! We give the students roughly 35 minutes to eat, digest and have some free time before our afternoon sessions begin.

After lunch, our afternoons vary from day to day, they may include more dancing, swimming, a guest artist workshop in beatboxing or stomp, tye dyeing or hat design.

Our days are fun-filled from 9 to 4 every day. Pick-up is between 4 and 4:30pm.

Everything is included in the camp fee except for the purchase of a camp t.shirt, which costs $15 and is available for purchase all week long. Tye dyeing takes place on Thursday.
Campers are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing runners and bring lots of water to stay hydrated!
