Are you looking for a summer program that keeps your children busy, active and engaged while also ensuring they are safe, secure and happy, under the watchful eye of people you trust?  We are absolutely thrilled to announce our 2020 ESD Summer Programs, provided by our talented faculty of dance educators! We have developed a summer day camp program that is sure to excite your children, while also allowing them to grow and enhance their skills as dancers & performers!

Safety is our number one priority.
Therefore:

- We will adhere to the Summer Camp Guidelines document released by AHS
- Each camp has a maximum of 10 dancers. This is to allow for physical distancing of more than 2 metres. Campers will remain with the same teacher for that day (no switching of teachers during the day)
- Only one camp running at one time in the entire facility. This is to ensure enough space for the children to dance, do crafts, etc. We will use both studios for the various planned activities.
- Daily cleaning and sanitizing.
- Our reception hallway will remain closed to ensure everyone’s safety. The hallway will be marked with spots to allow for distancing as well as for movement to and from the studio.
- Signage posted throughout the studio as per AHS regulations.
- Hand sanitizing stations at the entrances. Frequent hand washing.
- Vinyl guides and spots on studio floor
- Clear guidelines and expectations for our teachers and dancers regarding safety
- ESD Safety officer present to oversee all protocols and assist as needed.
-Zero tolerance for illness - more information to come, but dancers - and teachers - must remain at home if they show any signs of illness and will not be permitted inside the studio if they should show any signs of illness. Should a dancer become ill during their class, their parents must come pick them up immediately.
- Safe procedures for drop off/pick up, including touchless temperature checks, health questionnaires upon arrival, consistent and strict attendance recording (in case of a need for contact tracing).

* Payment is due on registration
** Full refunds will be given should a camp be cancelled *** Penalty-free Cancellation Policy

Please send nut-free snacks and a water bottle for your children. 
Confirmation emails will be sent out 3 days prior to the start of each program.

2020 DANCE INTENSIVES &
2020/2021 PERFORMANCE DIVISION AUDITIONS

All students who wish to be a part of our PD team for the upcoming year must attend our MANDATORY Summer Intensive in person or virtually. This opportunity to train with our faculty and guest faculty allows students to get a head start on their full year training, increase stamina, strength and endurance, as well as team building for the upcoming dance season. (dates listed below)The PD Intensives allow us to see all new and returning dancers together, so we can evaluate technique levels. We will make our decisions based on what is best for your dancer, as well as what is best for the team as a whole. We want our dancers to be challenged, but not overwhelmed, which is why we will make selections this way.
