Yoga Classes

Any dancer knows that flexibility is one of the essential aspects to dance. Since the beginning of our camp more than a decade ago, we have always included a morning yoga class as a part of our curriculum. We still strongly believe in this to this day. Every day we will have a morning yoga class taught by a yoga instructor specifically focused on dancers’ needs. Please bring a yoga mat if you have one, otherwise bring a large towel and dress comfortably.

Strength & Conditioning Classes

Just like yoga, strength is another important aspect for any dancer at any age or level. If you plan to attend our daily morning Strength & Conditioning sessions, please dress comfortably and wear sneakers. Private instruction for Strength & Conditioning is also available for those who wish to take their fitness level to another level. Remember that in order to dance competitively, we must be physically prepared.

Pizza with The Pros

Have you ever wondered what does a professional or judge is thinking during a competition? Or may be you want to know if the World or Blackpool Champions get nervous before competitions? How do world champions prepare on the day of the competition? This is your perfect chance to ask our distinguished panel of instructors. International DanceSport Breakthrough & Development Camp was the first camp to ever have this kind of event and we continue to host this popular event every year. Pizza, soft drinks and attendance to this event is complimentary for our attendees.

FRIDAY Night Social

We will be hosting a Friday Night Social from 8:00pm until late featuring music of International/American styles along with some social dances. The social is free for all full camp attendees. The social is also free for those who have purchased a One Day Pass for Friday. It is a semi-formal affair. Invite all your friends; the cost for those not attending the camp is $10 for students (with a student ID) and $20 for adults.
