Yes, you may add yourself to our camp waitlist if you notice your desired session is full. Our waitlists are run on a first come first served basis

Extended Day will be available as an add-on to your camp registration. Tuition for extended day is a flat fee across the full program, so we are unable to prorate this tuition if you add it on mid-week.

Registration cancellations can be made through the registrar for each program. If you reach out to our team prior to the closing of the registration period, you may receive a full refund less a 5% processing fee.

Please see registration closing dates for each program below:

To cancel your registration, please contact either The School at the Mark Morris Dance Center team (schooladmin@mmdg.org) or the Brooklyn Music School (registrar@brooklynmusicschool.org)

In the past we have noticed that this age group has had a difficult time with the full-day schedule and have left camp early. We recommend that students are at least 5 years old by the first day of the program.

Families who can only attend for a portion of the week are more than welcome to register, but the fees will not be prorated.

Our Mid-Winter and Spring Break Music and Dance Experience is a dual-campus program. Students will spend every other day at one of our locations: the Brooklyn Music School (126 St. Felix Street) and the Mark Morris Dance Center (3 Lafayette Avenue). Both of these locations are in Fort Greene, about a block away from each other!

Each program will culminate in a Family and Friends Showing in the Brooklyn Music School Playhouse. There will be no virtual option for this event- we look forward to celebrating this special time with your loved ones!

This week of collaborative programming combines the study of different music and theater disciplines and a variety of dance forms.

Yes, each program will culminate in a special showing for Family and Friends at the Brooklyn Music School Playhouse! This is an in-person, informal opportunity to see the work that students have been creating over their week at the program.

We ask that students should wear black and white for the final showing day. We will follow up with a reminder closer to the final day!

If your child is registered for extended day, you must pick up your child by 6:30pm. If your child is registered for the typical day of camp, they must be picked up by 3:15pm.

We allow each family a one-time grace period for late-pick up. Families will be charged a fee of $20 if they are more than 15 minutes late.

The tuition costs for one week of our 2023 School Year Music and Dance programs are as follows:

Tuition Tier 1: $475

Tuition Tier 2: $530

Tuition Tier 3: $600

Extended Day: $275

Tiered pricing options, in collaboration with our scholarship program, allow us to reduce financial barriers that traditionally prevent some students and families from participating. Tier 1 is our lowest pricing option and Tier 3 is our highest. We use the income from Tier 3 to subsidize Tiers 1 and 2. We run our tiered tuition program via the honor system and do not examine the financial records of any family. You can read more about tiered tuition and find out which tier is suggested based on your income here.

All students have the ability to pay their tuition in a series of 3 automatic payment installments via Active Network. These payments must be made with a credit or debit card. You can opt into this payment plan on the payment screen of your registration process.

The School at the Mark Morris Dance Center offers a select number of scholarships via a lottery system. We use the 2023-2024 eligibility for WIC programs to determine scholarship awards- you can read more about the scholarship lottery on our website here. This opportunity is available to all students.
