Camp de danse superhero! …pas un camp de danse ordinaire
Superhero Dance camp! … not your regular dance camp
This is a dance and movement based camp with a lot of open-structure and free play time; led by professional artists and dancers with lots of experience working with kids. In Superhero Camp, kids lead the projects and choose the superpowers they want to work on. We give guidance and lots of fun invitations based on our themes each week, but in the end it’s the kids that choose the direction it will take. On the last day of each week there will be a performance or some type of finale… show, installation, adventure course, fashion show.. the possibilities are endless.

Our Team
Laurel Koop (she/they/iel)
Parent to two wild, wonderful kiddos who are 4 and 7 years old; and director of Studio ED, which is a queer-led dance studio and community center in the Mile End, I am working in all directions on community-building and web-weaving. I am a dancer and movement educator with over two decades of experience; I love bodies and I am endlessly curious about them. What motivates me as a teacher is to reach out to kids on the fringes, for example the ones who have so much energy they have a hard time containing it, and to the ones who have a hard time expressing themselves or finding their voice. I want to create personal connections with the kids and to learn about the magic each of them carry inside, to figure out if and where I can support the talents and challenges they have. The Superhero program is something I have been developing since 2022 and I am excited to see how it keeps growing and evolving!
