First Steps Dance Program runs week-long themed dance camps for ages 3-8 at its 95th Street studio in Naperville. Camps meet Monday-Friday for 2.5 hours a day in either a 9:00-11:30am or 1:30-4:00pm block, with 2026 themes including Princess, Wicked, Lilo & Stitch and K-Pop Demon Hunters, and each session is grouped by a narrow age band. Class sizes are kept to 8-12 dancers, campers do not need to be existing students, and camps are the only summer programming offered.
The practical details
We list only what the camp itself publishes, and programs change — dates, prices, ages and availability can all move after we check. Confirm the details on the camp’s own website and contact First Steps Dance Program directly before you register or pay. Last checked August 2026.

★★★★★KateMs. Lizzy is truly an absolute gem. Her school is such a special place! All the dance teachers are all so kind, caring, and fun, which makes every class something to look forward to. At the same time, they really focus on teaching technique and helping each student grow. My daughter absolutely loves her dance classes (she had Ms Lizzy last year and just started with wonderful Ms Rachel) and she always comes home smiling and excited about what she learned. You can tell that Ms. Lizzy and her team genuinely care about their students’ progress and confidence, both in dance and beyond. We feel so lucky to have found such an inspiring school. Their end of year recital is absolutely outstanding (the costumes, the dancers, the achievements) and I can’t thank Ms Lizzy enough for her time, effort and glowing personality that enables her little dancers to thrive. They all absolutely love her and her team.
★★★★★Prerana ReddyMs Lizzie is an Amazing ballet teacher! We attended other classes for 2-3 year olds and her classes have so much more focus on technique while also making it so fun! It’s a great learning base for a true ballerina.
★★★★★Meredith ReinigerMs. Lizzy is amazing! Her dance classes are age appropriate for the kids and so fun! Price is very reasonable and small class sizes make the experience more enjoyable. She not only has the kids very engaged but they learn the dance moves too. My child is smiling the entire time he's in her class. I'm so grateful to have found this dance studio!
★★★★★Ulyana PshykMs. Lizzy is amazing! I cannot say good words enough how great and talented she is and how wonderful she is around children! My daughter Aurora cannot wait to go to the ballet to dance !❤️ Coming back for steps 4 next fall and counting the days! Best decision we made when we signed up for fsdp❤️
★★★★★Tess MillerMiss Lizzy is simply the best! From her classes, to her camps, to the recital and costuming, there is no detail missed. She's so engaging with the little ones and has so much love and patience with each and every child. It's truly a gift and a wonderful thing to witness as a parent. You can feel her warmth with your child from the second they walk into class to the second that they leave. We are forever fans! 100/100 would recommend :)
