Why Choose Dance Summer Camps?

Dance is a program that is becoming increasingly popular among both boys and girls. Like the many sports available to try, summer camp dance programs give children the opportunity to experiment with several different dance styles. Aside from the traditional jazz, instruction is often available in contemporary, modern, hip hop, and ballet. In addition to offering instruction in multiple styles of dance, many camps also form competitive dance teams that compete in dance competitions throughout the year. Even if young dancers aren’t quite ready to audition for So You Think You Can Dance, being a member of a dance summer camp can help unlock a a child's ability to one day become a great dancer.

Additionally, summer camp dance programs have become so popular because they provide an outlet to still be physically active in a creative environment. Summer camp is about letting go and not being afraid to act a little bit silly. Dance provides the same disciplinary and physical training as traditional sports yet also gives campers the opportunity to express themselves and sometimes even be a tad goofy through artistic choreography. Dance instruction is often provided by trained dance instructors or college students who compete on their university dance team or are pursuing a career in the field of dance. The availability of instruction in popular forms of dance such as hip hop has also driven the popularity of dance.

Dance is extremely versatile. Even though not every child has a desire be a professional dancer, they can enjoy learning new moves in dance classes and then using them to choreograph dance numbers for shows or simply for fun. They also like showing off their moves on the dance floor during final performances. Having the opportunity to practice new dance moves in an open, accepting environment such as summer camp gives campers the opportunity to try new dance before committing to classes along with confidence to continue learning, practicing, and trying what they’ve learned at home.
