KIDS MUSICAL THEATRE SUMMER CAMP – Singing & Acting for Kids

The popular and creative drama and musical theatre camps will be back at James & Alex Dance Studios starting from the week commencing Sunday 29th June and running all throughout July. All camps are 5 days long and AED 700.

The weekly theme will change so children and teens can take part in all the weeks if they like! Each week, students will decide as a big team what the theme will be on the first day of camp.

Last year students ventured to the Land of Oz, dived into the future of fairy tales, went retro with 80s disco music and solved many mysteries! What will happen this year – it is your children’s and teen’s imaginations that will create these exciting and unique all-singing, all-dancing and all-acting shows!

Spaces for these camps fill fast and children and teens must be signed up in advance to secure their place.
