TAKING YOUR TEAM TO THE NEXT LEVEL.
WELCOME TO JUST FOR KIX HIGH SCHOOL DANCE CAMP
DEAR COACHES AND DANCERS,
Just For Kix is so proud of our PRODUCT. Our camps are second to none. We are proud of the fact that if a team tries our camp, they come back! They love our attention to detail, caring staff, and fantastic choreography.
We spend the year finding new ideas, techniques, and methods for teams to implement into their training. Where else can coaches train at the level we offer, while their athletes are training at a high level too?
It is with excitement that we invite you to our 2023 summer camps where we will share our love for dance, pom, and drill teams.
Your team will BOND, have FUN, TRAIN hard, INSPIRE others, be INSPIRED by others, learn to COMMIT, and learn THEY CAN DO IT.
Because I love what I do. It is my passion. I love to share what I have learned over the years. It gives me great joy to mentor others!
