CCM Prep

Did you know? ✨

Our Storytime Ballet Camps are designed to build more than dance skills. 📚

Each camp includes storytelling, imagination, movement games, crafts, and themed activities that help dancers grow in confidence, creativity, and independence. All while having so much fun they don't realize how much they're learning. ✨

Spots are still available! We'd love to dance with your little one this summer. Check out the Storytime Camp themes below. 💗

🧜🏼‍♀️ ✨Mermaids & Pirates (June 1-5)
🧌 ✨Trolls in the Enchanted Forest (June 8-12)
