Dance Intensive (Ages 9-18) Details

Dive into the challenging and rewarding world of competitive dance with ROOTS Dance Intensive, crafted for aspiring dancers aged 9-18.

This program is more than a dance camp; it’s a launchpad for those determined to make their mark in competitive arenas. Tailored for dancers who are serious about elevating their skills, our intensive provides intense training across various styles, focusing on enhancing technique, artistic expression, and stage dynamics. It’s the perfect setting for young talents eager to refine their dance skills and compete at a higher level.

Participation in the ROOTS Dance Intensive is a strategic step for those considering auditions for our Competition Company teams, although auditioning is optional. Our intensive caters to a range of ambitions, whether it’s to join a competitive team or to simply achieve personal bests in dance. The program is structured to intensify a dancer’s abilities, offering them the resources and guidance to significantly upgrade their performance capabilities.

Auditions at the end of the intensive provide a platform for showcasing these enhanced skills, though making the team is not guaranteed for every participant.

  • Advanced techniques in Ballet, Jazz, Hip Hop, Acro and a couple of surprise styles (we’re all about the well-rounded dancer)
  • Strength and nutrition workshops
  • Personalized feedback and development strategies

The intensive culminates in an audition opportunity for the ROOTS Competition Company, allowing dancers to apply their enhanced skills and showcase their readiness for competitive performance. This will happen on Friday of camp week.

  • Any dance apparel (i.e. leotard, leggings, dance top, tank tops, dance shorts, etc.)
  • Dancers will need pirouettes or jazz shoes, ballet shoes, and tennis shoes/layers for hip hop.
  • Socks are permitted for contemporary/lyrical.
  • Hair is required to be pulled up and out of the face.

Is your child ready to rise in the world of competitive dance? Register for the ROOTS Dance Intensive and watch them develop the skills and confidence needed for success. While the audition is optional, the experience and training they’ll gain are invaluable. Secure their spot now and propel their dance journey to new heights!
