ADDING TO THE FUN OF CAMP IS COMPETING IN THE SOLO AND SMALL GROUP COMPETITION. IT’S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME A STRONGER PERFORMER. EVERY DANCER IS ENCOURAGED TO PARTICIPATE. IF YOU DECIDE NOT TO PARTICIPATE, IT IS GREAT FUN TO WATCH AND CHEER ON THE COMPETITORS.
PERFORMING A SOLO WILL... Help you to become a stronger dancer. WHY? Because YOU have to carry your performance and have to work hard to do it on your own. It is a great way to increase your confidence. Getting out in front of others by yourself will force you to work at a higher level to insure that you RISE to the occasion.
PERFORMING IN A DUET OR SMALL GROUP WILL... • Challenge your teamwork skills forcing you to learn to work well with others as a team. • Challenge your creative abilities. You and your friends will have to reach deep inside to create the ultimate routine. • Challenge your abilities by working toward one united goal. • Challenge you to work on your confidence and performance abilities.
RULES: Interested dancers must come to camp with their routine prepared to perform to music on the first day. Solo (1) & Small Groups (2-5) dancers compete in the grade they will be going into in the next school year. (This is based on the oldest member in a small group.) • No gymnastics or suggestive choreography may be used.* • We also require respectable music that has appropriate lyrics. • Routine can be no longer than 90 seconds and cannot be a Just For Kix class routine. All dancers receive medals. The finalists are announced at the final camp show and will then perform for awards.** • Dancers can compete in both Solo & Small Group categories, however there is a $20 charge; per person, per category. * Cartwheels and walkovers are allowed. ** In situations where there are too many dancers, only the winner may perform. JFK costumes are OK.
Things to Remember! Get prepared for the Solo & Small Group Competition (if you’d like to participate)! Lunch (if you need one) and snacks! Lots of beverages. Register Early! Camps Fill Quickly. Bring money for the RED CARPET camp store. Remember your Theme Day props and clothing. Dance shoes.
Remember to Pack a Lunch, Water & Snacks Each Day!!* *if a lunch is needed
Pin Exchange Bring pins that you make or purchase inexpensively to TRADE with other dancers. During camp you can wear all the pins you collected making new friends. You can only collect if you bring them to trade. Plan ahead! This is optional!
It’s Showtime! On the last day of Camp a free show is held for the dancers to perform. Dancers wear their CAMP T-SHIRT and any bottom including: leggings, shorts or jazz pants. Dance shoes are required, too!
Dancers make the difference. If you see someone without a friend at camp, reach out and include them. Many lasting friendships are made at camp. Just For Kix dance programs and classes are built on mutual respect for teammates, instructors, and those we compete with. This foundation provides Just For Kix the opportunity to inform, educate and influence youth about bullying. Learn more at: JustForKix.com/DancersForADifference
Camp Designed for Preschoolers. During this camp dancers will learn carefully planned dance routines based on basic motor skills. We also provide preschoolers with games and crafts. *Camp themes vary by location.
