Make new friends, learn cool moves, and have a BLAST in one magical week of dancing with American Dance Training Camps! Our "Jazz Dance for Teens (Int/Adv)" Spring Break Dance Camp offers experienced dancers the chance to grow, as dancers & people.

This is an Intermediate/Advanced level camp and requires at least 1 year of jazz, Broadway, lyrical or modern dance training. Not sure what level to choose? Please reach out to us and we'll help you find the best fit. 

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 intermediate/advanced jazz dance combinations, and get the chance to choreograph & share your own shorter solo. 

We'll deepen our understanding of jazz dance by studying its history, technique, and choreography. Styles of jazz vary and the combos we learn may include some Broadway, lyrical, modern or contemporary/funk. Routines are always set to upbeat, popular songs and incorporate turns, kicks, jumps, body isolations, rhythmic awareness & the dancer's own expression/style.

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*
