12 Days of Dance Idols – Day 6: Six Great Group Dances
This is Day 6 of our annual “12 Days of Dance Idols” series where we’ll spotlight performances from our 2021 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 sixth day of dance idols, our campers gave to us, six great group dances
Six great group dances choreographed & performed by campers at our 2021 dance camps for our Dance Idol competitions. The “Set Fire to the Rain” & “A Little Party Never Killed Nobody” pieces were performed at our NC dance camp, the “Poker Face” piece was performed at our MD dance camp, the “Waves” piece was performed at our WI dance camp, the “Nails, Hair, Hips, Heels” piece was performed at our TX dance camp, and the “I Will Wait” piece was performed at our VT dance camp (choreography by Gina Daugherty).

“My A.D.T.C. Superpower is Dreamer. I truly feel hard work pays off…dream BIG. Whenever someone tells me no, it pushes me to work even harder to prove them wrong. I want other girls to learn that anything is possible! No dream is too small. You’re writing your own story.”
