Three days of dancing, Christmas crafts and puzzles, the week school breaks up. Ages 5 to 11 come for the day; 3s and 4s have a Mini Camp in the morning.
Real photos from our October half-term camp and last year's Christmas Show.
Both camps run on the same days with the same themes, in the same studio. If you have one of each, they'll both come home talking about the same thing.
Ages 5 to 11 · up to 16 children a day
Ages 3 and 4 · up to 6 children a day
Five-year-olds can choose either camp.
Each day is complete in itself, with its own new routine, two craft sessions and its own puzzle pages, all finished by home time.
Monday 21 December
Tuesday 22 December
Wednesday 23 December
Wednesday ends with a Christmas party and a certificate for every child. If you can get away, you're welcome to come in from 3.40pm to watch the finale and collect. It's completely optional. If you're at work, the film comes to you that evening, like every day, and the certificate comes home in their bag.
At our Halloween camp, the secret-code puzzles were the children's favourite thing. Here's one to try together. Each number is a letter: 1 is A, 2 is B, and so on. The answer is worth 10% off until Friday 20 November.
Busy mornings, a calm hour after lunch, and the dance comes together in the afternoon.
School breaks up on Friday 18 December, and plenty of offices don't. We've built the camp around that.
Drop off from 8am, collect by 6pm. That's £80 a day with early and late care included.
Every day stands on its own, so one day is as complete as three.
The film of the day's routine comes to you every evening. You don't need to be there to see it.
Come to Wednesday's party at 3.40pm if you can. If you can't, nobody misses out.
Use the code from Pip's puzzle for 10% off everything until Friday 20 November.

Questions? Email hello.dancewithus@gmail.com
Yes. Most camp children aren't in a dance class. Everything is taught from scratch, and the routines are made for the group in the room.
Yes. Each day has its own theme, routine and crafts, so a single day is a complete day. Children who come all three days also take home the whole Elf Puzzle Book.
No, it's optional. Come at 3.40pm if you can. If you're working, you'll get the film that evening as on every other day, and their certificate comes home in their bag.
Children under 5 can only be with us for up to four hours a day, so the Mini Camp runs 10am to 1.30pm with a firm finish and no early or late care.
No. Please send a nut-free packed lunch, a snack and a named water bottle.
Not for this camp. Those schemes only pay providers on Ofsted's Childcare Register, and this camp isn't registered.
Only children whose parents have given photo consent on their booking. If you haven't given consent, your child still dances, and we film from an angle that leaves them out.
