About Dance Camp for Girls

Find out about dance camp for girls providing incredible opportunities to learn all kinds of dances and have fun. Girls not only learn to dance, but also make friends and gain self-confidence. There are a variety of camp types including beginner classes, intermediate programs and expert dance programs. Each camp offers their own specialties of dance, which can include dance instruction programs featuring modern, hip-hop, jazz, ballet and tap-dancing.

Recreational Dance Camps


Teenage girls and preteens are especially well suited to attending overnight recreational camps. Staying away from home overnight builds character and lets kids explore new environments while learning dance. Many of the camps are situated in the mountains by rivers and streams providing traditional summer activities in addition to dance classes.


Some outdoor recreational camps include tennis, horseback riding, boating and hiking activities. A choice of either beginner, intermediate or advanced dance classes are offered at most recreational camps.


Day Camps


For many parents, younger children and teens, day camps or dance studios provide the perfect options. The kids do not stay overnight, but spend the entire day at a camp or a dance studio. Day camps are a lot easier on the parent’s pocketbook and a one-day camp often suits the needs of younger children better than a weeklong camp away from home.


Intermediate/Advanced


For the girls that have been self-teaching or already attended beginning dance camps they can progress to intermediate training or try out advanced programs. These types of advanced classes provide pre-professional training with intense summer workouts.


The training programs are much like dance camps providing all-day classes for dance and housing is available at the schools. Young dancers must audition for the programs and learn what professional dance careers are all about.
