Spring Session & Summer Camps

Registration is open for our spring mini-session classes as well as all of our summer dance camps. 

Spring session is a perfect opportunity to explore a new style, upgrade your skills, and return to a focus on personal progress (rather than our current focus on preparing for performance). Review the spring session schedule at danceworkskenora.com/class-schedule/ and register through your portal account. Spring classes are mixed level. Not sure about the appropriate class or level? Reach out to the studio at info@danceworkskenora.com

We’re also looking forward to another summer of dance, rhythm, crafts, and creativity! We are once again offering a selection of Mini Dance Camps that run for 4 half-days as well as Full Week Camps for the slightly older dancers that are ready for a more intensive dance camp experience. View the summer camp schedule and details at danceworkskenora.com/summer-camps/

DWK 2024 Year-End Recital

Our 2024 Recital is just one month away! We are just finalizing our information packets for families and will have more details coming your way soon – including all information on rehearsal times, how to buy tickets, etc. This year we will split our dress rehearsal over two nights, May 9 & 10, and have our Recital shows on Saturday, May 11. If you know your dancer has a conflict for the evening of either May 9th or 10th please let the studio know ASAP, we may be able to schedule their rehearsal for the alternate evening.
