Custom Routines: If you plan to request and purchase custom choreography at your camp, you must have the music sent to the instructor at least 3 weeks prior to the camp in order for them to have ample time to prepare your choreography. Please make sure you have checked your music on lyrics.com for any inappropriate words or phrases so that all editing can be made before it is sent to the instructor. Any editing that must be made after the music is sent will require extra charges. We ask that the music be emailed directly to either the office or the instructor. Contact the office if you need any information on your instructor. DanceADTS@aol.com

WHAT TO BRING: Students staying in campus dorms will need to bring sheets, towels, pillows, linens, soap, and toiletries to camp. Hotel campers do not need any linens.

Students will need to bring appropriate dancewear and footwear for daily classes and any dance attire required by their director and team for class and evaluation.

SCHEDULE: Remind your team members of the rigorous schedule, and come to camp in good condition ready to work and learn. This will help avoid injury. They may want to bring a small thermos for water, so they can consume plenty of liquids. Ice chests are not allowed in the dorms.
