Summer Camp: Dance Classes

The ULTIMATE Overnight Dance Camp!

Dance camp this summer? Check out our dance classes!

ADTC is open to dancers of all levels, from first-time beginners to advanced performers...and everyone in-between. While our main focus is on jazz/funk, hip hop, and musical theatre dance, campers should come ready to experiment with additional dance styles while working on these core competencies. No formal dance training or experience is required to attend ADTC - just a love of dance and a willingness to learn and have fun!

ADTC campers participate in four 1 hour dance classes each day. In addition to the core jazz/funk, hip hop, and Broadway disciplines, the elective techniques taught during each session may include: ballet, Latin or street jazz, lyrical, modern and tap. When a particular style of dance is not offered as a core class, campers are instead offered the chance to participate in optional dance electives incorporating that style.

Dance groups for core dance classes are broken down by both age and ability level. Class sizes are kept as small as possible to enable plenty of one-on-one interaction and attention. Dance classes are held in gymnasiums, weight rooms, common rooms and cafeterias, and we roll out american harlequin dance flooring to ensure camper safety. Each room has ample space to accommodate up to 20 dancers per class (though ADTC class sizes are typically much smaller).

Campers also have the opportunity to work on performance pieces with dance instructors during afternoon and evening free time. Each week culminates with a Friday Show, our all-camp performance that showcases each dancer's progress.
