Summer Dance Camps For Kids In Cleveland

Please see our blog on the importance of a dress code. We offer a flexible dress code with no specific required colors or styles. For safety and distraction reasons, dancers are not allowed to wear jewelry in class.

YOU & me Movement and Music Class

• We have no dress code and require no specific dance shoes. Leotards, tights, tutus, and ballet shoes always add to the fun, and sweatpants, t-shirts and tennis shoes are great. No sandals, flip flops, boots or crocs for safety.

All Combo Classes with Tap, Ballet, and Jazz

• Attire: Our dress code is simply “dance attire” and is designed to be fun, safe and appropriate for the learning environment. There is not a specific style or color required. Long hair needs to be pulled back. We ask that tiny tots’ dance clothes are only worn for dance class so that the young dancer understands that they are coming to dance class and not an unstructured play time.
  * Leotards, tights, leggings, and tutus all add to the fun.
  Or
  * Clean solid-colored sweatpants or jazz pants and a fitted t-shirt are great.
• Shoes: Ballet and tap shoes are needed for all tap & ballet combo classes. Any shoe color is allowed during class but if you would like to plan ahead to the annual spring showcase, black tap shoes are requested for all dancers and pink ballet shoes for female-identifying costumes.

  Please see our blog on how to pick out dance shoes and the type of shoes to avoid.

All Hip Hop Classes

• Attire: Sweats, leggings, and t-shirts are great…wear clothes that you can easily move in and are appropriate when dancing and doing floor work. (Shorts and skirts can be a challenge.) Long hair should be pulled back in a ponytail.
• Shoes: Sneakers that tie or won’t come off feet. Barefoot, clogs, crocs, sandals, flip flops or socks just won’t work.

Check out our suggested attire and shoe options on our Nimbly shop here! You will also find affordable dance attire and shoes online at Discount Dance Supply and Amazon, as well as in stores such as Target, and sometimes Walmart, but they tend to be hit or miss. Local dance stores are also an option but the prices will be higher.

Please note: Upon registration, all families are enrolled in auto-renewal* for their class from semester to semester or month-to-month until you notify the office otherwise via email by the 25th of the month. (Cancellations cannot go through the teacher.)

If class is canceled, you will be notified via email and text. If school is canceled within the district of your dance class location due to weather, dance class will also be canceled. No refunds will be issued for any canceled classes, but make-up classes will be offered.

We understand that being late can be stressful. Therefore, please have your dancer prepared with shoes on outside of the room and then send them into the class. If no dancers are present for class, the teacher will wait 10 minutes before they are allowed to leave the class site. There are no refunds or credits for tardiness.

The class you are interested in is currently full and you have been added to the waitlist. No worries, as soon as a spot becomes available, you will be notified via email (with a text reminder) with next steps that will need to be completed within 24 hours to secure your place in the class. If you no longer wish to be in the class, please let the office know.

We have other similar classes at other near-by locations as well. We would love to get your dancer in class soon! Click here to view our full class schedule.

Ages 14 months – 2

This is an adult/child interactive dance class and an adult must be in class with each dancer. Dress code and dance shoes are not required for this class.

Ages 2 

Adults participate as needed and therefore stay in the room. They need your love and encouragement throughout dance class. Some dancers will need more attention than others, depending on their age and development and that’s okay!  To have a successful class we ask that only one adult is in the room with the dancer.

Ages 3 & Up

These are our big kid dance classes so families watch from a distance outside of the room or are welcome to drop them off.

SAFETY FIRST…please be sure to sign-in your child if you are dropping them off during class; sign-in on the clipboard with the phone number where you can be reached during the next hour in case of an emergency. This needs to be done every week for any dancer who does not have an adult within viewing distance.  This will give our teachers quick access to an accurate telephone number to contact you if needed.

In addition to small in-class demos throughout the year, EvOLvE does present an annual dance showcase in the spring that is catered to be a fun, positive, age-appropriate experience. The showcase is not required but encouraged for all students…memories to last a lifetime! For more information, click here to view our annual dance showcase page to mark your calendars.

Camps

There is a $50 deposit charged upon registration that is non-refundable and non-transferrable to any class or camp. (Sorry, no exceptions, whatever the reason – including but not limited to sickness, moving, your schedule changed. In the event Dance To EvOLvE cancels a camp your $50 deposit will be refunded).

The remaining non-refundable camp balance will be processed with the card on file two weeks prior to camp start date. (You will be sent a reminder email.)

The reason we have to be so strict about camp policies is due to many non-refundable upfront costs, planning and teacher scheduling based on enrollments.

Potty Training: Your child must be potty trained to attend a drop-off camp. If they show up to camp on the first day and are not potty trained or are in a diaper, they will not be able to attend for the rest of the week and your camp payment is non-refundable.
