Registration for 2026 Twirl summer camps and dance intensive opens on Monday January 12- 9:30am for current Twirl dance families and 10:30am for everyone else!
My son was a first time camper at Twirl this summer! After seeing the joy on his face when I picked him after his first day at camp, I knew I needed to sign him up for another camp session. He couldn't wait to tell me all about the fun things they did each day at camp.

Fun, fun, fun, and more fun! Twirl’s summer camps will get your child to forget their handheld devices as they get lost in the magic of dance-related activities. Each camp has its own unique theme and includes a daily craft* and will end in a final performance** where your rising star has an opportunity to showcase what they’ve been working on throughout the week.
*Due to the focus on acrobatic skills and performance rehearsals, Dreamland Cirque Acro Camp will not include a daily craft.
** Campers without a signed model release will not participate in Twirl camp performances, which are broadcast live on Facebook and Instagram. Model releases are optional and not signing the release only means that these campers will be directed to another room for the 10 to 15-minute performance time on the last day of camp. This will not affect their overall Twirl camp experience!

Twirl Summer Camp Frequently Asked Questions
What does my child wear for camp?
In Twirl Summer Camps we move around a lot. For real. A LOT. Campers should wear clothes that they can move freely in. Dancewear is not required, but we do love themed costumes that allow for free movement. Leotard tops, snug tank tops, or shirts that are long enough to be tucked in are recommended for camps that include acrobatics. Please no crop tops, half tops, or sports bras (with nothing worn over them). Street shoes are not allowed on Twirl dance floors so if campers don’t have dance shoes, bare feet are best because dance floors tend to be slippery in socks. If there are specific clothing or footwear requirements for a camp, the registered families will receive those details in a separate email. Dance shoes and black dancewear are required for Twirl Summer Dance Intensive (we’ll be in touch a week or two before the intensive to go over details!).
What does my child bring to camp?
Campers will bring a bottle of water and a minimal crumb causing snack. That’s all!
Do you have in-person audiences for camp performances?
We do not have in-person audiences for camp performances. We actually broadcast camp performances LIVE on Facebook and Instagram so that family and friends can watch remotely. We do have an optional model release that will be sent upon registration for families to e-sign. It’s no problem if families want to opt out of Twirl’s model release agreement, but know that campers with no signed release will be directed to another room while their camp group is filming their live performance.
The 4-11 age range looks pretty broad. How you manage that?
Because such a large number of kids attend Twirl summer camps (it’s like one big party!), we divide campers into two or three groups mainly by age. Younger campers are grouped together and older ones are together as well. We will send an email prior to the start date of the camp asking for requests to make sure that friends are in the same group. Also, siblings can be in the same group or separate depending on family preference.
My child doesn’t have much dance or acrobatic training, will this be a problem for acro camps?
Twirl summer camps offer a super fun and welcoming environment for campers of all abilities. For camps that include acrobatics we work with individuals according to their skill level, and for all other camps, we make sure that choreography is cool, fun, and accessible for all dancers. It’s summertime… there’s no pressure! However, for Twirl Summer Dance Intensive previous training is required.
What happens I need so switch to a different camp?
No problem! You won’t be able to do this on your own in the registration portal so you’ll email admin@twirlperformingarts.com and we’ll make the switch in the system. There’s a $30 fee per switch to cover the cost of the admin work.
