Featured dance classes offered at the Southern California Dance Academy during the summer camp.

The Big & Spectacular Variety Show!

A Summer Dance Camp of Musical Theatre, Dance, and Fun! The Southern California Dance Academy has been the pioneer of summer dance camps for younger children in the local area. Since 1993, SCDA has offered a fun-filled summer dance camp where dancers as young as 5 years old can learn different dance styles, create sets and scenery, dress up in costumes, and perform a daily show for friends and family. Each week, our dancers decide on a musical, fairy tale, or movie and rehearse dances in that theme; some creative dancers can even choreograph their own dance! Our flexible dance camp allows parents to enroll their dancers for one day, one week, or for the entire three-week camp; no one needs to miss out on the fun! Each week, the camp culminates in a performance for friends and family.
