Just what we were looking for!

★★★★★ My 9 year old daughter attended ADTC in Squaw Valley 2016. We found ADTC in the January issue of Dance Spirit magazine and it was listed with the other summer dance intensives. It looked like a great way to introduce an "intensive" dam e

atmosphere (they dance Multiple hours per day) but in a much more fun, nurturing, positive environment. It proved to be just what we were looking for: a summer camp... ” Read More

Time of her life.

“

★★★★★ My daughter attended Northstar Session 1 (2017) and had the time of her life. The three adjectives I'd use to describe ADTC are challenging, fun and inspiring. Her brain and body both got a great workout and she loved the extra activities, particularly the horseback riding where she got to cross a small stream on horseback! kimbear@comcast.net” - Kimber B., San Francisco, CA

Wonderful memories!

★★★★★ My granddaughter Alyssa, age 12 almost 13, just attended two consecutive weeks at American Dance Training Camps in Northstar, near Lake Tahoe, California. What an amazing experience she had!

Something for Everyone!

★★★★★ The camp communications were great. I could not have asked for better information pre-camp and during camp. When asked if she liked the camp and would want to do it again, my daughter enthusiastically said YES before I even nished the question!

When my daughter goes to camp, she has three objectives: have fun, make new friends and learn lots. She found all three of these at ADTC! The activities were... ” Read More

The best!

★★★★★ Our daughter attended camp in Lake Tahoe during summer 2016 for 1 week. This summer she is attending for 2 weeks because she loved it so much!

Loved every second.

“

★★★★★ My daughter is scared to go away. She decided to try this because of her love of dance. I absolutely love that the kids are phone free!!! She loved every second of the camp.

Self-esteem boost.

“

★★★★★ My daughter enjoyed her ADTC camp at Squaw Valley. She has been dancing for several years, but even after 1 week of instruction I could see improvement in her skills. I liked that several different types of dance were a part of the program.....and that there was a strong focus on DANCE (not on tumbling/gymnastics as some dance programs seem to do). I also liked that daily re ection and self-esteem... ” Read More

Thanks ADTC!

“

★★★★★ This was my daughter's second time at a sleep away camp and she couldn't have been happier. The year before she attended a camp on the east coast and it was a disaster. ADTC was one of the best experiences she's ever had. She felt welcome, accepted by the counselors and other campers, and felt great about herself and her dancing. Thanks ADTC! gershenberg@gmail.com”

- Julia M., Menlo Park, CA

Such a profound experience.
