MJ Dance Center's 2026 Summer Camps Are Here — and Your Dancer Is Going to Lose Their Mind

If you've been searching for the perfect summer activity for your little mover and shaker, look no further. MJ Dance Center in Bethlehem is back with their 2026 summer dance camps, and this year's lineup is seriously something special. With themes ranging from superheroes and royalty to Taylor Swift, K-Pop, and Disney villains, there is genuinely a camp for every kid — and trust us, once they hear the options, the hard part is going to be choosing just one.

MJ Dance Center has been part of the Lehigh Valley community since 1945, and their summer camps carry on that legacy of joyful, purposeful dance education. Each camp runs Tuesday through Thursday for three days of non-stop fun, and all skill levels are welcome — your child doesn't need a single day of dance experience to jump in and have the time of their life.

MJ Superhero camp

MJ Royal Dream Camp


For the Little Ones: Ages 3–6 Morning Camps (9:00–11:30 AM)

For the preschool and early elementary crowd, MJDC has four magical morning camp options that run from 9:00 to 11:30 AM — the perfect half-day adventure.

First up is Superhero Training Dance Camp, running July 14–16. This action-packed camp invites young dancers to discover their superpowers through movement, agility, and coordination while channeling the spirit of their favorite heroes. Capes optional, enthusiasm required.

Then comes Royal Dreams Dance Camp, July 21–23. Princes, princesses, and royals of all kinds are invited to step into a fairytale world filled with sparkling choreography and imaginative movement. Every dancer is treated like the royalty they truly are.

Island Wayfinders camp

Wild About Camp


July 28–30 brings Island Wayfinders Dance Camp, inspired by the spirit of Moana, Lilo, Stitch, and their island adventures. Little dancers will dive into tropical rhythms and ocean-inspired movement as they unleash their inner wayfinder and make waves on the dance floor.

Closing out the summer for the youngest group is Wild About Dance Camp, August 4–6. This jungle and animal-themed camp invites kids to celebrate nature's best friends through dance — hopping like bunnies, soaring like eagles, and making some seriously joyful noise along the way.


Totally Wicked Camp

K-Pop camp

Boys Only Camp


For Older Dancers: Ages 7–12 Camps

For the tweens and older kids, MJDC has pulled out all the stops with an afternoon lineup (12:00–3:00 PM) that is going to have your dancer absolutely buzzing with excitement.

Kicking things off is Totally Wicked Dance Camp, July 14–16. Inspired by the iconic Broadway musical, this camp invites dancers to unleash their inner witch or wizard as they learn choreography set to the spellbinding hits of Wicked. Whether they're defying gravity or twirling with enchantment, this one is pure theatrical magic.

K-Pop Power Squad Dance Camp takes over July 21–23, and honestly — if your child has been practicing idol choreography in the living room, this camp was made for them. Dancers will learn sharp formations, fierce moves, and bold performance skills set to popular K-Pop hits. Get ready to move like an idol and shine like a star.

Running the same week, July 21–23 and again July 28–30, Boys Only Dance Camp is an empowering space built specifically for boy dancers to build technique, confidence, and some seriously impressive moves through acro, dance skills, and hip hop combos. Two sessions mean double the fun — and double the bragging rights.


In My Dance Era Camp

Descendants themed dance camp

Acro Camp


In My Dance Era arrives July 28–30, and yes, it's exactly what Swifties have been waiting for. This Taylor Swift-inspired camp is packed with tour-worthy choreography, friendship, and all the fabulous moves your dancer has been dreaming about. Welcome to their most iconic era yet.

Closing out the entire summer is Rotten to the Core Dance Camp, August 4–6, inspired by Descendants. Dancers will step into the worlds of Auradon and the Isle of the Lost, dancing to their favorite Descendants hits alongside Mal, Evie, Jay, and Carlos. Whether they're channeling their fierce villain side or dancing with a touch of magic, this camp ends the summer with an absolute bang.

For dancers who love acrobatics, Recreational Acro Camp runs during two sessions — July 21–23 and July 28–30 — from 9:30 to 11:30 AM. This camp is designed for recreational dancers who want to build real strength, flexibility, and confidence through cartwheels, handstands, walkovers, aerial drills, and back flexibility work.

If a full camp week doesn't fit your schedule, MJDC also offers individual weekly classes all summer long, including Hip Hop Skills & Tricks, Hip Hop Combo, Tot Class for the little ones, Tap Technique, Jazz Combo, and Strength & Conditioning. You can sign up for as many or as few sessions as works for your family.
