✔️ All competition dancers attend 1 convention of CDA's choosing, typically in Fall or Winter.

Summer Dance

All Elite dancers must participate in CDA’s Dance Camp in July (both Session 1 and Session 2) in the level that corresponds with the above assignments.  If you have already registered in a different level, no worries, we will make the changes for you.   If you have a conflict and your dancer is unable to participate in one or both camp sessions, she will need to sign up for private summer lessons.  These lessons will take place in July and/or August.  Each private lesson will consist of 4 consecutive days for 30 minutes each day in the genre that is specific to the dancer’s needs (TBD).  If a dancer must miss both camp sessions, she will need to sign up for 2 private sessions of 4 days each.  Please email us for more details and the cost for a private summer session if needed.  If you have any previously scheduled vacation dates for July and August, please include those in your email.
