Are your dancers ready to "Try Everything" this August? We are thrilled to announce a brand-new, 3-day summer pop-up mini-camp series inspired by the world of Disney's Zootopia! Before the back-to-school routines kick back in, give your dancers a high-energy, creative outlet to close out their summer vacation.
Ms. Amanda is teaching those camp classes herself, and she cannot wait to dance with your kids! We are offering these special daytime camps across two separate weeks at our Wheaton and Damascus locations.
CAMP OPTIONS & AGE GROUPS
Bunnyburrow Academy (Ages 3–5) | 9:00am–11:30am Perfect for younger dancers! This session features a fun blend of creative movement, foundational ballet, Judy Hopps themed obstacle courses, and daily custom crafts.
Gazelle’s Backup Dancers (Ages 6–9) | 12:30pm–3:30pm Unleash your inner pop star! Dancers will dive into high-energy jazz and hip hop choreography inspired by the different districts of Zootopia, design their own performance props, and receive a digital video link of their final routine to share with family.
Spaces for our Zootopia pop-up camps are strictly limited to ensure quality instruction and craft management. Please use the direct links above to log into your Jackrabbit portal and claim your spot today!
Come join me for an amazing week of dancing, crafting, and fun!
