We are so excited about this summer collaboration with Squamish Dance Centre!

SUMMER CAMP registration opens Sunday and we have a really exciting new camp hitting the calendar!!!!!

For the past few years we have been collaborating behind the scenes with our good friends working with our competitive Song & Dance duos and soloist’s vocal training. It’s been so exciting watching our Song & Dance competitors grow leaps and bounds with the support of SAM bringing their performances to the next level.

We are so excited to be working with SAM on another project bringing to life a new Summer Camp 🕺🎤 An opportunity for young performers who want to combine singing and movement, develop musical, dance, and performance skills, and enjoy the excitement of sharing music in a supportive group environment.

Song and Dance Camp
Ages 7-13
August 10th-14th
9am-3pm
At SDC

Song and Dance is a dynamic and engaging program for students who love to sing, dance, and perform. Participants explore repertoire from musical theatre and pop favourites, combining vocal technique with expressive movement in preparation for an end-of-week showcase. This program supports both beginners and experienced performers, offering opportunities for skill-building, creativity, and teamwork ✨

Here are some extra highlights from November's mic workshop and concert. We had such an amazing time with all the talented singers who joined us, and we couldn't wait to share more!

As we dive into the second term of the school year, these students are working tirelessly to perfect their performances for the music festival and end-of-year concerts. Building on last term's progress, they're expanding their skills and inspiring us with their dedication and commitment.
