2023 Camp Fees & Policies

All camp fees are listed next to individual camps below.


Registration does not have to be for the same camp, however, registration for all camps must take place at the same time. Code may only be used once, when registering online, over the phone or in person.


Payment Plans:

Payment plans can be arranged by contacting Danceworks CRM Manager Anastasia Alto. The last payment for any summer camp payment plan is due at least one week before the camp start date.


Withdrawing From a Camp:

  • Transferring camp/workshop fees from one week/date to another is possible depending on the availability of the individual week. Advance notice is required to transfer to another camp or workshop date.

  • If a student should need to withdraw from a camp and we receive notice at least three weeks prior to the start of that camp, a credit for the full amount can be issued. This credit can be used in any class or program at Danceworks and will be good for one year from the date issued unless a request to extend the credit is made.

  • Danceworks has a no-refund policy. Individual situations can be directed to Danceworks Director of Education Amy Brinkman. Please note that any refund that is approved is subject to a 15% administrative charge.
