ADTC Lawrenceville, New Jersey

In addition to being Broadway performers, finalists from your favorite dance TV shows, collegiate dance team competitors and Radio City Rockettes, we're also CEOs ("Chief Experience Officers") at camp.

Each year ADTC staff (new and returning) undergo a rigorous hiring process that includes an extensive application, interviews, employment verification, criminal background check, CPR & first aid certification, physical exam, health screening, skills verification, and a multi-day pre-camp staff training. ADTC offer a wide range of dance intensives per week.

And it works! It takes a whole crew of enthusiastic, dedicated people to create the ULTIMATE dance camp experience around the country. We couldn't ask for more interesting, sensitive and enjoyable teachers and counselors.

The principal objective of the camping program is to assist members of this community in developing personal, social and dance skills to result in informed decisions, responsible behaviors and constructive actions concerning our lives. In all, understanding relationships with ourselves, others and our environment is the objective. Camping builds self-esteem, confidence, and leadership through “adventure challenge” while dance promotes physical and mental health. Benefits of Dance Looking for the perfect exercise? Get out your dancing shoes! In his new book, Ultra Longevity: the Seven-Step Program for a Younger, Healthier You , Canyon Ranch Medical Director Mark Liponis, M.D. entitles his chapter on exercise and movement simply, “Dance.” Dr. Liponis explains that he's defining dance broadly as rhythmic movement, and he goes on to show that rhythmic movement is in fact the most beneficial kind.
