Another spring break camp has been announced for later this month, and this one is an artistic collaboration.

Pinocchio Art School and Dance Addicts in the Heights are partnering together to host the camp, according to Masha Tikhonova, a teacher at Pinocchio.

The Art and Dance Fusion camp is for children ages seven to 11 and runs from March 18 to 22, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

"Half of the day, children practise dancing and the other half of the day, they master art skills," Tikhonova wrote in a message to the Burnaby NOW. "Each day is filled with dance moves and art projects."

The program includes Zumbatomic - Zumba for kids, hip hop lessons, singing and dancing, painting, drawing and mixed media art projects, according to Pinocchio's website.

Pinocchio is at 4537 Hastings St., and Dance Addicts is at 4622 Hastings St.

There are a limited number of spots left. To register, go to www.pinocchioart. ca/art-classes/spring-break-camp.

There are also art camps taking place at other studios in the Heights, such as Artspace Children's Art Centre and 4Cats Capitol Hill.

The City of Burnaby is holding a variety of camps as well. For information on spring break camps and events held by the City of Burnaby's parks, recreation and cultural services department, go to bit.ly/U9heYC.
