Eileen Boyle is thrilled to be returning to ADTC for her 7th summer on staff, and 12th summer overall!

A true ADTC veteran, Eileen attended our ULTIMATE Green Mountains dance camp in VT, as well as our ULTIMATE Smoky Mountains dance camp in NC as a camper. Since joining our staff, she’s worked in Vermont, North Carolina & Maryland… and she’s held almost every position – Counselor-In-Training (“CIT”), Junior Instructor-Counselor (“JIC”), Instructor-Counselor (“IC), and Assistant Program Director (“APD”).

Eileen began her dance training at multiple schools throughout Virginia, and after graduating high school, she attended Joffrey Ballet School in New York City as a jazz and contemporary trainee. Eileen lives in NYC where she just completed the Broadway Dance Center Professional Semester. She is now teaching at several Tri-State dance studios & is delving into the world of professional performance.

Eileen wants campers to leave ADTC with the sense that dance is a safe place. She says, “I think some dancers come to camp from studios that put girls down for not rising to the level of others or for not doing well in competition. I would love to instill in all campers that dance is for everyone, regardless of ability.”

When Eileen is not dancing, you’ll find her reading about anthropology, drawing or napping. Her favorite animal is the manatee, and a good grilled cheese will always be her perfect food.
