✨ We’re doing it AGAIN!! ✨

📅 Monday, July 27th, our dance girls return from summer break to kick off our 10-Day Young Girls Empowerment Summer Dance Camp! 💛

For 10 incredible days, these young ladies will experience so much more than dance. They’ll grow, challenge themselves, build confidence, and create lifelong memories through:

- Daily support groups & self-care skills workshops
- Daily fitness classes
- Introductory training in 8 different dance styles
- Musicality training & performance coaching
- Team-building activities such as; a sleepover party, beach outings, and a picnic at the beach
- Our Annual Camp Reflection Board, where each camper looks back at how she felt on Day 1 and celebrates the personal growth she’s experienced by the final day.

✨ Special Guest Instructor! ✨
This year we’re honored to welcome internationally renowned World Fusion artist Samantha Diaz from New York City. Samantha will be leading a special workshop on the power of originality, inspiring our girls to embrace their individuality, creativity, and authentic voice.

None of this would be possible without the incredible support of our community. This camp is funded through proceeds from the CT Pro Show, made possible by the generosity of the New England belly dance community, along with the support of our sponsors, the Jamie A. Hulley Arts Foundation, and generous donors like Movimiento Cultural Afro Continental, Inc.

🚨 REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN! 🚨

⚠️ Only TWO spots remain! Don’t wait—once they’re gone, registration will close.

We can’t wait to welcome another amazing group of young women for a summer filled with movement, creativity, confidence, and empowerment. 💕
