Calling all Newsies! Are you looking to fill your spring break with dance and music!? Brooklyn Music School and Mark Morris Dance Group have partnered to offer an exciting Music and Dance Camp for children ages 5–13 during the 2026 NYC public schools spring break (April 6th – 10th, 2026). 

In the mornings, students will begin their day at Mark Morris Dance Center (3 Lafayette Avenue), where they’ll explore dances from Newsies Jr. and create their own original choreography inspired by the show’s storytelling, characters, and movement style.

Families also have the option to enroll in an extended-day Props Class, where students will design and create props that connect to themes from Newsies Jr.

The week will culminate in an informal performance for family and friends at the Brooklyn Music School Theater, showcasing the students’ creativity and hard work.

Location(s):

In the afternoons, campers will transition to Brooklyn Music School (126 St. Felix Street), where they will learn music directly from Newsies Jr., rehearse scenes and choreography inspired by BMS’s upcoming production, and participate in drumming and musicianship classes to deepen their musical foundation.

Our Spring Break  Camp is open to children at all levels, with and without disabilities.
