1. Explore Different Genres
There are so many types of dance that you most likely haven’t heard of all of them. At Pali Adventures summer dance camp, you get the opportunity to try out several genres.
By trying out different types of dance, you may find a style that you absolutely love that you’ve never considered before. This can help you uncover a passion for dance you never knew you had because you’d never gotten to experience that type of dance before.
You can also dig deeper into just one type of dance if you already know what you want to learn. This allows you to take your skills as far as you can in that genre. As you do so, you’ll end up with a greater appreciation for that style.
2. Learn from Experienced Instructors
One of the best ways you can learn more about whether a career in dance is right for you is by working under experienced instructors. All of ours here at Pali Adventures have real industry experience and can answer all of your questions about it.
Having instructors with actual dance experience provides another huge benefit when discovering your passion for dance. They will help you learn different dance styles correctly so you know if it’s something you want to continue doing.
Our instructors will also provide you with feedback on which dance style you excel at so you can pick one to focus on or choose to look into developing skills in weak areas.
3. Create Your Own Routine
We want you to continue learning various dance styles and developing your skills long after the summer. That’s one of the reasons we help you come up with your own dance routine. Learning to do that gives you lifelong skills so you can keep pursuing your passion for dance.
We also do this because of how the independent creation of a dance routine will help you explore your passion for dance. You’ll get to put all of the skills and dance moves you learned together in a routine you can be proud of.
4. Perform at the Pali Showcase
What will you do with your dance routine while at Pali Adventures? Show it off, of course! Every week, dancers will have the opportunity to perform their original routine for other campers and staff at the Pali Showcase. It’s a great experience whether it’s your first time performing for an audience or if you’re already an experienced performer.
If you’re new to dancing, you’ll get a sense of what it feels like to be a professional dancer performing before a live audience!
5. Connect with Other Dancers
There’s no denying that one of the many benefits of attending camp is the chance to make lifelong friends. When you come to dance camp, you already share a passion for dance with everybody else in your cabin, making it easy to connect with them.
Dance itself is a great way to connect with others whether you’re doing the latest dance moves together or working with a team to create the best dance routine to present at the Pali Showcase.
Many friendships that start at camp continue far beyond the summer and can even turn into lifelong friendships that you’ll enjoy for years to come.
What Else Will You Learn at Summer Dance Camp?
In addition to learning basic dance techniques and lots of new moves, you’ll also have the chance to learn some soft skills during your week at Pali Adventures.
Soft skills are also known as interpersonal skills. They strengthen your ability to interact with people and can help you improve all areas of your life. We focus on them because even if dance isn’t going to be a career for you, we want you to learn skills you can use for the rest of your life.
Let’s take a quick look at three of these skills you’ll develop at Pali’s summer dance camp.
Physical Communication
Body language is an essential part of how you communicate with others. Since dance is all body language, it’s a great way to practice expressing ideas without using words.
Collaboration
No matter where you go or what you do in life, you’ll have to work with others if you want to accomplish your goals. That’s why learning collaboration is so important.
At Pali Adventures summer dance camp, you’ll work in a group where each member has something different to offer. Together, a group made up of individuals can create something amazing.
Self-Awareness
This is something that will help you in every aspect of your life. Self-awareness means knowing yourself fully and understanding how you respond to different situations. When you have this ability, you can use it to improve yourself and have more positive interactions with those around you.
Dance helps you become more aware of your body movements in particular. It gives you better control over them and can help you have an overall better sense of control over all of your words and actions.
