Class Experience

Make new friends, learn cool moves, and have a BLAST in one magical week of dancing with American Dance Training Camps! Our "Hip Hop/Street Dance 101" Spring Break Dance Camp is a fresh, funky & FUN dance camp for beginners.

You'll have 90 minutes of live instruction/discussion with our top-notch dance instructors + 30 minutes of self-paced practice per-day. Recording will be available on-demand after each class. Over the course of 5 days, you'll learn 2 - 3 dance combinations fusing traditional jazz with hip hop, and get the chance to choreograph & share your own shorter solo. 

We dance to upbeat, popular songs while learning jazz dance fundamentals fused with a mix of street dance techniques including popping, locking, African, house & funk. On Friday, you'll be invited to perform your group combinations & solos during class (optional)!

During your 30 minutes of "Self-Paced Practice" (after class each day), we recommend you:
1) Practice dance combos (you get the chance to perform for each other on Friday) - video links will be shared!
2) Choreograph a solo for our Dance Idol Competition. This is optional, but our dance idol competition at our overnight camps is the highlight of the week for our campers, so we hope a lot of you will participate! Dancers should work on their solo a little bit every day (Mon - Thurs), and be ready to perform it in class on Friday.

We will also have fun theme days Tuesday - Friday for camper spirit!  Here's the Schedule at a Glance*

Parental Guidance
We can't wait to see your dancer online soon! Just a few logistics to help you feel more prepared (& excited) for a fulfilling virtual dance experience with us... HOW TO SET UP YOUR PHYSICAL SPACE: Find a space in your house that is quiet and uncluttered - preferably an "open" space with no obstructions and room to dance. For dance, hard wood floors are best, but we can also make a carpeted space work. Add some sparkle to your space (optional, but makes class even more awesome!) - deck out your space with positive messages & personality just like we do at ADTC! You can create posters w/ a favorite quote or inspirational design, add flowers, balloons, etc. Get parents' permission first & camp rules apply - no glue or paint on walls! CREATING A SAFE EMOTIONAL SPACE: Here's how we foster an uplifting and positive environment during class: 1. No put-downs (to yourself or anyone else) 2. No negative body language (rolling eyes, etc.) AUDIO/VISUAL SET UP: Grab your laptop or mobile device and power plug. Prop your laptop/mobile device up on a chair or stacked books so you can view it well. Alternatively, if you have a projector and screen or way to connect your laptop to a TV screen, you can project the class up there. Turn up the volume. Use your headphones if you prefer (just note that earbuds may fall out during class or get in the way). Adjust the lighting in your space as needed. INTERACTING WITH YOUR VIRTUAL CLASSROOM: Log into the Zoom Waiting Room at least 5 minutes before class so you may resolve any technical issues. If it is your first time using Zoom, login at least 15 minutes prior. Use the dancer name you used to register so that we know who you are! Say "hi" when you arrive via chat or your mic if audio is on. We'll mute you while dance class is in session, so send us a chat if you have an issue hearing or seeing us. After class, we'll unmute everyone so we can make new friends, answer questions and get feedback about how class went. When you're ready to head out after class concludes, just end the meeting.
Supply List
For hip hop, we recommend either regular workout sneakers or dance sneakers. For jazz dance, we recommend either black or tan leather jazz shoes.
