Our Cansler Y is offering summer dance camps for ages 3-5 and ages 6-10! At the Y, we want to find ways to help kids make new friends, try new things, and develop an early passion for a healthy lifestyle. Our Summer Dance Camps are affordable and accessible for everyone, taught by dance instructors with years of experience!
Each Summer Dance Camp will meet for 3 days, 2 hours each day. Each camp will end with a short performance on the last day for dancers to show off their new skills! All Dance Camps will take place at the Cansler Family Y at 616 Jessamine St. Knoxville, TN 37917.
