Ages for which our activities are most appropriate: 
Threads is a dance company and nexus for dance and community connection based in the Twin Cities. Its mission is to examine, expose, and celebrate the threads that connect us. Threads' school, NexGen/Youth Dance Project (YDP) reflects this mission by nurturing young dancers and creative thinkers, fostering technical skills, self-expression, and a deep connection between mind and body. Threads offers a variety of performances, classes, and workshops throughout the year. We invite you to visit our website: threadsdance.org to learn more and join us at a Threads show or class!

Discover the joy of dance at Threads Dance Project where young movers will explore a variety of dance styles and grow in confidence, strength, and self-expression. Our NexGen/Youth Dance Project is committed to holistic, high-quality dance education. Our goal is to inspire confidence, build strength, and foster creativity and wellness through inclusive and diverse programming for students ages 4-12.

NexGen Summer Dance Camps
This summer, give your child the gift of movement, creativity, and connection. NexGen offers two age-based camps: 

Young Movers Project, YMP  (ages 7–9) and Young Dancers Project, YDP (ages 10–12+), are designed to nurture young dancers in a joyful, supportive environment. Creative Connections classes, for dancers aged 4-6, will resume in Fall 2026.

Dancers will explore ballet, modern, and more while building confidence, strength, and self-expression. Each week includes creative exploration, age-appropriate wellness and nutrition conversations, and a casual end-of-week showing to celebrate their growth.

Families join a community that values inclusivity, artistry, and whole-child development, where every dancer is seen, supported, and encouraged to flourish.

Need-based scholarships are available here. Learn more and register for classes/camps at www.threadsdance.org/youth-dance-classes

The NexGen/Youth Dance Project is designed to provide young dancers ages 4-12+ with a comprehensive and holistic approach to dance education, fostering confidence, strength, and creativity in Ballet, Modern, Nutrition, and Wellness classes.
