I went to the closing show last Friday night and expected to paste a smile on my face and try to get through the hour. Boy was I off the mark. The instructors are obviously top notch and the show was as well. It was truly an enjoyable experience to see the girls show off their new talents. Thank you so much for having such a wonderful camp.

We are so grateful to her and of course to you for setting the systems in place to handle all eventualities. We are especially grateful that you have the vision to hire the very best staff and the wisdom to train them well. As parents, we send our children to camp for a number of reasons: activities, social team building, self-awareness and confidence - the resiliency to rise above strife and negative feelings. Your camp has provided all of those and more to our precious child during a time of extreme need. Thank you!" - ADTC Squaw Valley, California parent (Eomonos, WA)

"It has been a little over a week since our daughter, Joanna, returned from dance camp at Nantahala and we are still raving about it! Her experience surpassed our expectations in so many ways. Your staff could not have been more friendly, professional, nurturing, and talented. From the very first conversations when we arrived on Sunday evening to the conversations after the performance on Friday night we were in awe. The team leaders were also great. Joanna had such a great week of learning new forms of dance, new techniques, making new friends, and gaining so much more self-confidence. We were so impressed by how much the girls were taught in just five days!! The performance was so well orchestrated and we could see and feel the girls' enthusiasm and pride as they each performed their numbers. We know that something like your staff was able to do in one week doesn't happen by magic. They are an incredibly hard-working and talented group of dancers and we want you to know that we are very grateful that Joanna had the opportunity to learn from them. We are very happy that you've chosen North Carolina as another site and we are planning on Joanna attending next year as well.

"I just wanted to let you know how much fun my daughter Cassie had at the 3rd session at Squaw Valley this summer and how impressed I was with the whole camp experience from the first day "check in" to the Friday "Showcase" and check out and everything in between that I heard through Cassie. This was Cassie's first "Dance Camp" experience (will not be her last) that was not at her studio. Cassie feels so very lucky to have learned 'Hip Hop' from Jordan Setacci, 'Musical Theatre' from Amber Yates and 'Jazz' from Ben Walker II besides all the other Junior Instructor Counselors, most of all her counselor Krista Moore. Once she was home she could not stop talking about ADTC and all the fun and great dance experience she gained from her week there. Every time she hears 'Get it Shawty' she starts dancing the routine Jordan taught her group. She plans to attend next summer and wants to bring friends from her studio too! In closing I once again want to say 'Thank You' for the wonderful experience my daughter had this summer at ADTC in Squaw Valley." - ADTC Squaw Valley, CA parent (Orange, California)

really gained a lot of confidence by participating with all the other dancers and counselors. She joined the competition cheerleading squad in our town for the first time and they completed 2 first place winnings and 2
second place winnings this season. I know she applied the discipline and skills she worked on at ADTC this summer to her cheerleading . Mikaela has gained confidence and is proud of herself for working hard and practicing her cheerleading/dancing.  I really think she learned a lot about what she can accomplish  at ADTC and looks forward again to spending that special week in Vermont!! Thank you! - ADTC Stratton, VT parent (Basking Ridge, NJ)
