The School of Philadelphia Ballet

Children’s Dance Camps

1 Week Programs
Ages 4-8  |  9am – 12pm

Whether you’re looking to introduce your child to the world of classical ballet, build upon lessons and techniques already acquired, or just instill in them a love of dance and a true sense of accomplishment, Philadelphia Ballet has you covered. Our Children’s Summer Program aims to instruct, delight, and inspire—all within a creative and nurturing environment led by a dedicated and passionate staff of ballet professionals. Your children will have the time of their lives, make new friends, and perhaps even learn a little bit about themselves along the way.

Our dance camps are a really fun way for your child to make new friends near and far, learn the story of a classical ballet and work together to put on a performance. Each morning we will dance, learn choreography, share in snack time, and create parts of our costumes for our performance (craft supplies are provided by SPB). There are two camps to choose from, each with a very special theme. By the time Friday comes around, we will invite our loved ones and share our completed performance of the ballet. These camps are filled with fun and engaging activities to keep your child inspired. Example daily schedule below. 

9:00–10:00am Ballet and Creative Movement warm up class 

10:00–10:30am Bathroom break and snack time

10:30–11:00am Craft time

11:00–12:00pm Rehearsal

THE NUTCRACKER

August 1st – 5th

Journey with Marie through her magical holiday dream and explore a wonderful party, energetic soldiers battling mischievous mice, a wintery forest filled with dancing snowflakes, and the final destination of the Land of the Sweets! Soldier hats and candy decorations will help bring the story of The Nutcracker to life. This day camp is always a favorite with young Princes and Sugarplums! 

SWAN LAKE

Swan by day, young woman by night. There will be plenty of dancing to be done as you join the swan queen Odette and Prince Siegfried in their quest to break the magical spell cast by Von Rothbart. From royal castles to the Swan Lake, this journey is always a favorite with young aspiring dancers.
