Frequently Asked Questions

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.  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 studio recital for our campers to share their accomplishments with family, friends, and the general public.

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: Lunch is available at $6/day.  It may be purchased along with your registration.   Lunch will be delivered each day to camp from a well-known food establishment.  Only campers who sign up and pay for meals on their registration form will receive lunch.  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 (8 - 9, 10 - 11).  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.

Q:  Is there a sibling discount?

A:  Yes.  10% off.  Please call us at 713-526-1049 so we can accommodate your request.

Q:  Is this a day camp or are there dormitories?

A:  This camp is a day camp.  If you are traveling from afar and need accommodations, please contact the office directly at 713.526.1049.  Though we may not be able to accommodate your request this summer, we will know that there is interest for next year and plan accordingly.

Q:  Do you work with children with special needs?

A:  Unfortunately, our staff is not trained to offer children with special needs the right kind of attention.  This camp is a specialty camp that requires athletic ability, maturity, and a high level of focus.

Q:  Can I take only one week of camp?

A:  Possibly.  This option is not available during advanced registration. 

Q:  When is the earliest I can get dropped off?

A:  8:00 am

Q:  How do I register?

A:  You can call us at 713.526.1049 and we will mail you a registration form, or you can DOWNLOAD A REGISTRATION FORM or REGISTER ONLINE.
