Inspiring Testimonials from our Dance Camps
Can’t Say Enough Positive Things!
“Can’t say enough positive things about this camp! Amazing experience – this was my daughter’s second year (attending solo) and she always comes home with a ton of new friends, experiences and a renewed love of dance! My kid LOVES this camp! It caused her to start picking up different styles of dance in her regular studio. Three adjectives I’d use to describe ADTC are fun, positive, and self-esteem building. kimberlyagil@yahoo.com”

5 Summers So Far!
“My daughter has been attending ADTC in Colorado since she was 9 (5 summers so far!) and she has formed such a great bond with the counselors and other campers. She has gained so much confidence from this camp we could not imagine going anywhere else. The instructors are incredible, and my daughter has become great friends with all of them. They really know how to lift the girls up and create a safe place for the girls to feel at home while they are away from Read More
their families. We have loved that it is a fairly small group and they really get to know each other and become lifelong friends. My daughter never felt homesick, she missed me, but she loved camp. Regarding technique, I think anytime you do something 6 days a week for multiple hours you get better. They really learned how to learn choreography fast since they only have a week to put on a show. She was able to learn different styles of moves from seeing other dancers from other studios preform. When you have new instructors and are with new dancers you have a different perspective. They of course have fun, but they dance a lot and they do come away from camp a better dancer than when they arrived. Activities, girls’ night out is a must, they get to dress up and go out to dinner in town. It is really sweet to see how they have all bonded over the week during this activity. She has also enjoyed the day at the beach – they go to Boulder Reservoir and paddle board, swim and hang out. Another great activity they do is a talent night and the girls choreograph their own dances and perform for each other, and then at the end of week show. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think my daughter would perform a solo in front of an audience. ADTC gave her the confidence to do that, and it brought me to tears. denisearnett@msn.com”

Wonderful Experience!
“A wonderful experience overall! My daughter has attended two summers in a row – she dances most of her free time and this is the perfect camp for her. She makes new friends, gets to do what she loves (dance!) and learns new skills, both in dance and in life. The staff is great and so helpful all across the board. Communication is fantastic and we love seeing the daily photos! My daughter got a little homesick one weekend her first summer Read More
and the staff took great care to make sure she was ok (and to keep me updated). In fact, when she got home she said she was “camp sick” and wanted to go back to camp! ADTC provides excellent dance instruction and skill building, and allows her to broaden her experience in many dance styles. Equally important is the focus on interpersonal skill building and character development in an atmosphere of inclusivity, respect, dignity and fun. There are also non-dance activities to mix things up which she really enjoys. The shows are excellent! It is amazing to see what the girls accomplish in one week. You can tell they are having a great time. My daughter has kept in touch with new friends and can’t wait to attend camp again for her third summer next year. Thanks ADTC! krisgoldman@comcast.net”
