Princess Ariel made a surprise visit to The Dance Method’s studios on July 7. 

The Dance Method’s owner, Lauren Jaussi, invited the princess — played by Myna Mendoza, of Magic Mirror Entertainment — to help close out The Dance Method’s two mermaid-themed dance camps: Mini Mermaids, for 2.5-4-year-olds, and the Under the Sea camp, for ages 5-7.

Ariel was accompanied by a “fairy godmother,” played by Magic Mirror owner Melyssa Meinert, to entertain the dancers with crafts, games and stories. 

Mini Mermaids was a one-day camp, while the Under the Sea camp for older children lasted three days.

Jaussi’s dance studio features themed dance camps every month. In June, the studio hosted an “Encanto” themed camp, and on July 26-28 will have a Christmas in July camp. The Christmas camp is for boys and girls ages 5-10, and runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. each day. The camp will be $160 per dancer.

The Dance Method teaches ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop, musical theatre and contemporary for ages 2.5 to adults.
