Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I register?
A: You can DOWNLOAD A REGISTRATION FORM or REGISTER ONLINE. You can also call us at 713.526.1049 and we will mail you a registration form and answer any questions you may have.  A 20% deposit is required to reserve a spot.


Q:  What level of dancer do I need to be?
A: All levels of dancers are welcome.  Because the camp offers dance training in a multitude of dance styles, it is unlikely that anyone would have intermediate/advanced experience in all of them.  At this camp, it is more important that everyone has a great attitude, a lot of energy, and an interest in learning new things.


Q:  What do I wear?
A: Beginner dancers should wear clothes that are easy to move in.  Workout and dance clothes are acceptable.  Dance shoes are not required.  Jeans are not acceptable.  Int./Adv. dancers should wear the dance clothes and shoes they are already accustomed to wearing at dance class.  Short shorts and mid-riff bearing tops are not acceptable.  A schedule will be sent to all registered campers one week before camp, so they may plan their attire accordingly.


Q:  What is the performance like?
A:  It is a recital for our campers to share their accomplishments with family, friends, and the general public.  Each session will offer new choreography different from the other sessions. The performance is free.

Q:  Can I take classes in just one style of dance?
A:  No.  We expect campers to learn all the styles offered.


Q:  Is lunch provided?
A: It depends.  Lunch is catered only to those who sign up for our lunch plan.  It is $10/day and must be registered for in advance.  You may sign up for the lunch plan at checkout.  Please inform us in advance if you have special dietary needs.


Q: How do you handle dancers with varying skill levels and ages?
A:  On the first day of camp, all students are assigned groups based on their skill levels and ages.  For most classes, students take classes with those of their same skill level (advanced, intermediate, and beginning).  Some classes are divided based on age level (i.e. 7 - 12, 13 - 17).  Warm-up and activity periods are for all campers at once.


Q:  How do you determine a student's skill level?
A:  First we consider the level designated on their registration.  Then our staff observes the dancers in a group session to ensure everyone is in a level that best fits each student.

A:  Yes.  The discount is 10% off registration fees for the second and third sibling.  Please call us at 713-526-1049 so we can accommodate your request, or email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
