Summer Dance Camps in New York City

New York City is a world-famous center of the arts, home to the musical theater of Broadway, New York City Ballet, the Rockettes, and much, much more! SOCAPA’s New York dancers are immersed in this first-class performance world while studying Contemporary, Fusion, and Hip Hop technique from a concert dance perspective. Dance videos they create embrace the beauty and energy of New York, with past videos shot in The Green Building and The Foundry as well as Roosevelt Island, Grand Central Station, Central Park, and other world-famous locations.

When not dancing, residential students at SOCAPA’s New York City campus get to enjoy the wealth of activities that this iconic city has to offer. Our residential staff organize activities that fill the nights and weekends with an unforgettable summer experience that blends the sights of the city and the very best of camp. From weekend trips to Coney Island and Central Park, to evenings at Times Square and Broadway, to karaoke, games nights, and more, SOCAPA’s New York students enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

NYC Dance Camps

SOCAPA NYC Dance offers three separate Dance intensives that vary in length, level and focus. For experienced Dancers (Intermediate to Advanced) who are new to SOCAPA, we recommend FUSION DANCE — our most popular intensive! — which has two and three week options. If your time with us is limited, pick a focus of either Contemporary or Hip-Hop in our one-week DANCE BOOT CAMP (Beginner to Intermediate). For return SOCAPA Dancers who are at the Advanced to Preprofessional level, we have our DANCE CONSERVATORY intensive.
