13 Genius Summer Dance Camp Tricks

Ok, yes. I know it’s July and summer dance programs are probably well underway, but after a few weeks of summer dance camp, to me, it always became clear what WAS, and WASN’T working.

Sometimes the activity I’d planned and thought would be a smash hit was a total flop. Or the dancers were tired of playing Freeze Dance for the millionth time. Or I knew I would pull my hair out if I had to choreograph yet again to another Disney song.

So right about now is when I would scrap some of my original summer dance camp plans and scour my old lesson plans, Dance Ed books, and stalk Pinterest and dance teacher FB groups for ideas. This would be my pattern for many years, until I’d complied enough experience and plans of my own to never have to go searching for another way to fill 15 minutes of camp again.

And today, you, my friend, get to benefit from this! I’ve put together 13 videos of my best summer dance camps games, activities, tips, and tricks into one playlist on my YouTube channel. So all you have to do is grab your favorite beverage and snack, sit back, and hit play!

While you’re over on YouTube watching, I’d love it if you would subscribe to my channel! That way, you’ll be alerted every time a new video comes out and we can stay connected. Because this dance teacher world can be rough and lonely sometimes, and it’s important we have each other’s backs!

I hope these videos give you some inspiration and ideas to smash the rest of your summer camps! Happy teaching!
