12 Days of Dance Idols – Day 9: Nine Novel Numbers

It’s Day 9 of our annual “12 Days of Dance Idols” series where we’ll spotlight performances from our 2023 dance camps. ADTC Dance Idol is a fun competition that takes place Thursday night at every ADTC location… it is THE highlight of the week (other than the Friday Night Show) for ADTC campers and staff. You’ll get to choreograph & perform your own solo, duet or group dance (if someone else choreographed your dance, you must give them credit!), and 1st, 2nd & 3rd place winners are invited to perform their piece in our Friday show.

On the ninth day of dance idols, our campers gave to us, nine novel numbers

Nine novel numbers performed at our 2023 dance idol competitions. The campers choreographed these dances themselves at camp! The “Stayin’ Alive” & “Off the Wall” solos were performed at our CO dance camp; the “Smooth Criminal” solo & “The Man” trip were performed at our WI dance camp; the “rises the moon” solo was performed at our NC dance camp; the “El Toro Rabon” duo & “That’s Entertainment” trio were performed at our TX dance camp; the “Tere Naina” solo was performed at our MD dance camp; and the “5:00AM” solo was performed at our CA dance camp. Please support our dancers – subscribe to our YouTube Channel (12k + subscribers!).
