ALL ABILITIES

We want ALL campers to feel great. Studies show that no matter what your level or experience may be, dance can increase self-confidence and help build social skills. At ADTC, dancers of all abilities & disciplines are free to dance!

ADTC IS FOR ALL LEVELS - COME, LET GO & DANCE!

Unlike some dance camps, ADTC is open to dancers of all levels, from first-time beginners to advanced performers...and everyone in-between. Our top-notch instructors bring to ADTC the coolest combinations from some of the best national and international dance studios, schools and performance groups. Classes are organized by age and ability level, and instruction is carefully tailored to fit the ability of each student - from beginners to experienced performers - with lots of hands-on help and individualized attention.

SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE

Looking to bag your fouette and really challenge yourself? We've got you covered. Looking for something a little more, um, easygoing? (Read: I haven't danced in five years and I've never even taken a jazz class) No worries - ADTC is the perfect camp for you, too. One of the most common questions we get asked is, "How much dance experience do I have to have?" The answer is simple: you do not have to be a dancer in any way, shape or form. We have something for everyone. From dance and fitness freaks to couch potatoes. (This is your chance to get off the couch and actually DO something new!).

Whichever ADTC camp you choose, you can ALWAYS move at your own pace. This is an individual experience, but remember: you'll get out of it what you put into it! Just have fun, let go, and dance like no one is watching!

SUNDAY NIGHT DANCE SCREENING

After check-in on Sunday, campers participate in a "dance screening" where they learn two short dance combinations. This informal evaluation helps our teachers place campers in dance groups for the week.

We want everyone to be comfortable in their dance classes. If you feel your group is too advanced, you can easily switch to a lower level by telling the Program Director. If you wish to move to a higher level, you may have a chance to audition for this privilege (subject to offering).

"SO IF I AM A VERY EXPERIENCED DANCER, WILL THE DANCE CLASSES BE CHALLENGING ENOUGH?"

Definitely. ADTC staff members are accomplished dancers and teachers that campers would never have the privilege to work with at their home studio (unless your studio hosts one of our private camps!). They are Radio City Rockettes, Broadway actors, backup dancers and TV performers. Any experienced dancer is lucky to spend a week learning from teachers of this caliber!

"SO IF I'VE NEVER DANCED BEFORE, WILL I BE THE ONLY ONE?"

No! We have many campers who attend ADTC for the summer camp experience and to spend a week learning cool moves. This way campers can assess if dance is something they'd like to pursue back home!
