Summer is officially here. At Indianola Dance Academy, we believe in making every moment count. It’s not just for fun, but also for growth, skill development, and building a stronger, healthier community. While our regular classes are fantastic, we offer even more exciting ways to keep your dancer (and even yourself!) moving, learning, and thriving this summer.
Rhythm Makers Day Camps: Adventure, Creativity & Dance!
Get ready for an unforgettable summer filled with themed dance adventures! Our Rhythm Makers Day Camps are designed to spark imagination, develop new skills, and create lasting memories. Each week brings a unique theme, from “Rhythms of the Realm” to “Mad Rhythms Lab,” ensuring there’s something to excite every young dancer.


In our camp schedule above, you can see we have a diverse range of themes running throughout the summer. These themes offer flexible options. They are designed to fit your family’s plans. It’s a wonderful way to dive deep into another world for the week, make new friends, and explore creativity in a fun, supportive environment.

Why Choose IDA for Your Summer & Beyond? Hear From Our Families!
At Indianola Dance Academy, we’re more than just a studio. We’re a family committed to nurturing every dancer’s potential on the dance floor. We also support their growth off the dance floor. Don’t just take our word for it – hear what our incredible parents have to say:
“I can not advocate enough the benefits this studio has brought to my daughter not only dance wise but HEALTH wise. As everyone knows, *** was diagnosed with EDS last fall, in October she went for a few trial classes, in January she officially became a member. This studio has done so much in strengthening the areas that need it but also show casing her flexibility in a healthy way. So good that her physical therapists had to discharge her because dance was doing more for her than they could!!! I am so happy that my daughter is part of the IDA family!!”
~ Parent of a Dancer Thriving with EDS at IDA
This powerful testimonial highlights how our specialized experience and training, especially in areas like conditioning and healthy movement (like that offered in IDA IGNITE!), can truly transform a dancer’s life. We believe in understanding each student’s unique needs and helping them thrive safely.
Another parent shared:
“One big advantage of Indianola Dance Academy, I’ve never in all my years found a dance studio that supports and will actively help their dancers like Jess has. My daughter is trying out for Show Choir, and Jess made time for her and other students who were going to audition to work on and practice the dance for the audition. That dedication, commitment and love for her students is one reason my family will continue to support and attend IDA!!! I will continue saying it until I’m blue in the face! Best decision we ever made! If you’re looking for somewhere for your child to do dance, definitely check them out!”
~ An Experienced Dance Mom, New to IDA This Year
These words truly embody our philosophy at IDA. We are dedicated to our students’ holistic growth, providing not just exceptional dance training but also unwavering support, mentorship, and a genuine love for what we do. It’s about building confidence, fostering passion, and helping every child shine in all their endeavors.
