Fun-Filled Schedule

Our dance camp includes lots of activities - team cheers, staff skits, games, etc. We learn routines, work on technique but also have FUN!

Outstanding Technique and Styles

At our camp you have the opportunity to try styles you have never tried before! Perfect your technique, and become a more well-rounded dancer.

Superb Staff

We surround dancers with staff selected from over 40+ experienced professionals. Our staff has the technical know how, the proven methods, and inspiration needed to motivate and help dancers achieve their goals.

Make New Dance Friends

Campers will get a chance to dance and perform with other dancers from surrounding towns! Make new friends with someone you have never danced with.

The Tradition Continues

Just For Kix has a long-lasting tradition of offering youth dance camps! With over 40 years of experience, your child is guaranteed to have a great time while improving their technique. If your son or daughter has never danced before, this is a great opportunity to introduce them to the dance world!

Class Structure

We break our classes into levels so that everyone can be challenged in their own way. Dancers will learn a variety of routines, and get the opportunity to try styles they may have yet to be exposed to! The best part about dance camp is that dancers get the opportunity to learn from new teachers that can bring a different perspective to their learning process like never before.

Bring a Friend

Camp is always more fun when you are with a buddy. As a fun summer tradition, many dancers invite cousins or friends to join them at camp. Have no fear, if you don’t come with a friend, we will make sure to find you a buddy when you arrive!

ENJOY OUR CAMP THEME DAYS!

Just a touch of FUN that Just For Kix Camp gives its dancers.

80’s Day
