From ballet to hip hop, jazz to tap and everything in between, this week is a sure win for those looking to take the next step in their dancing journey. Led by PCC’s motivational and incredibly talented choreographers, this camp runs June 18–22. Friends and family are invited to a special showcase during the morning of June 22.
Level up your vocal musical skills with JumpstART! During weekly meetings, participants in grades 6–12 will work with PCC’s vocal instructors to improve their technique and advance their music reading skills. JumpstART is perfect for singers who wish to grow as independent musicians. JumpstART meets on Mondays throughout June and July.
Complete your summer fun activities with Summer Festival, the quintessential PCC camp experience.
