Hofstra University Dance Academy, under the direction of Hofstra Dance Coach Kelly Olsen, is structured to meet the needs of dancers entering grades 2-12. This full-day camp experience will expose campers to a variety of dance styles including jazz, pom, hip-hop and kick, with an emphasis on style, technical execution, flexibility, jumps, turns and performance. All dancers will be evaluated by the staff and assigned to a level based on experience and skill. Instructors will work hard to meet each camper’s individual needs. Teams are also welcome, as it is a great opportunity to work on routine building for the upcoming season. Hofstra Dance Team is a nationally recognized program with a UDA College National Championship Title in 2006 and top three finish the past two years. Hofstra’s Kelly Olsen Dance Academy utilizes the University’s state-of-the-art, air-conditioned facilities.
