Our Wonderful Camps
Camps are some of Blue Starz' most magical times of the year! We offer various dance & theatre camps over the Summer, Winter & Spring breaks, with themes ranging from Disney classics to the most popular movies of the year. We invite your little ones to spend a week with us, twirling with excitement to their favorite characters & singing out to hit songs whilst working towards putting on a little performance at the end of the week. We host three age groups for camps: 3-5's (half day & full day) & 4-8's (full day) and 7-12’s (fun day).
