Dance Camp
About Our Camp
Community Circle Dance Camp (CCDC) is a unique collaboration of the San Francisco Ballet Center for Dance Education and other community partners. We provide children with a weeklong experience in dance, music, and art. Our camp is for boys and girls ages 7-14, and no previous dance experience is necessary. Our staff of professional dancers, musicians, and artists believe in the power of positive regard and embrace the dancer in everyone.
A typical day for a CCDC participant consists of four dance classes, one music class, and a visual art class. Breakfast, lunch, and a snack are provided for all of our campers. At CCDC, we emphasize the importance of good nutrition with our students, since a healthy diet is imperative to maintain a strong, fit body.
The one-week camp includes a special mid-week field trip to see the arts district in the heart of the Civic Center. We also provide early-morning drop-off at 8:45am and late-afternoon pickup until 5pm at no additional cost.
The week culminates with a special Community Celebration where students demonstrate to friends and family their experience in dance, music, and art.
