2026 Summer Day Camp

Frequently Asked Questions

When do classes start and end?

We run on a season basis from August through June each year. While most students join us in August, we accept registration on a rolling basis as space allows. During the month of July, we run a full day summer camp.

How do I know which class level to register for?

We keep it simple, register your student based on their grade in school. In cases where a student excels at a particular level, his or her teacher would recommend a move up and out of their current grade level in recognition of their skills and maturity.

Can I try a class first? I'm not sure what my child will enjoy.

Absolutely! We offer trial classes for $20. During the trial class, your student will participate in a full class, meet the instructor(s) and students and get to see which class is the best fit.

Where do we purchase dance uniforms?

All uniforms for our dress code are to be purchased through our online boutique, Nimbly. We will size your student at the studio, then you'll place your order online and it will ship to your home. Visit https://www.shopnimbly.com/modernmotion

Do you have programs for children with special needs?

We do! Our Stars in Motion program is designed for children with disabilities or special needs. Visit our Stars in Motion page at https://modernmotion.org/stars

What instrument can my child take lessons on?

We are currently offering trumpet and violin lessons for the Spring of 2026 with more instruments starting in the Fall of 2026.

Do you offer voice lessons?

We will be launching our vocal music lessons by the Fall of 2026.

What age can students begin lessons?

We welcome students starting in 1st Grade. Private lessons allow us to meet each child exactly where they are, so younger beginners and more advanced students are both well-served.

What will my child learn during music lessons?

Students learn proper technique, how to read music, basic music theory, and how to play songs they enjoy. Our instructors blend structured fundamentals with music that keeps students engaged and motivated to keep going.

How long are lessons?

Lessons are 30 / 45 / 60 minutes depending on the student's age and level. Your instructor will help you determine the right lesson length for your child.
