Robin Krakowski, owner of Dance Expo in West Windsor and East Windsor, and The Dance Network in Lawrenceville, is living her dream. “This is what I have always wanted to do. I love it and I love the business.”
Robin grew up taking dance lessons at Dance Expo. She loves spreading her passion for dance with her students. Children can start taking lessons at age three and start attending summer camp when they turn four.
The Dance Network, where you learn TO dance, not A dance, is now in its 12th year. Dance Expo in East Windsor has been around for eight years. Robin recently expanded to add a location in West Windsor. They have 12 teachers between the three studios.
New camp offerings this summer include a Frozen Camp and a Disney Princess Camp. Both are fun-filled weeks spent dancing to music from the movies. The dancers will also make crafts and play games that go along with the theme for the week. They should be prepared to play and have fun. Full and half-day sessions are available.
After a great response last year, Dance Intensive is in its second year. It is designed for the more serious and competitive dancer. This is a great opportunity to keep up your dance skills over the summer. Take classes in ballet, jazz, contemporary, lyrical, jumping and turning, and much more. Full and half-day sessions are available for dancers age nine and up, as well as those already on competitive dance teams.
Dance Expo and The Dance Network also offer dance camps for students interested in learning all different types of dance including ballet, jazz, hip hop, lyrical, tap, and more. This session also includes crafts, which you can take home after class. Full and half-day sessions are available.
Each camp is offered at each studio throughout the summer. They run for eight weeks from Monday, June 29, to Saturday, August 1. Families can pick and choose which weeks work best for them. They are very flexible.
In addition to camps, evening classes will be offered all summer. Evening classes are available from toddlers to adults in a wide variety of dance styles.
The dance camps are $195 for a half day and $375 for a full day. The Dance Intensive camp is $220 for a half day and $400 for a full day. Full day camps run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Half day camps are from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Bring your own lunch. A snack will be provided.
