Kelly Olsen Dance Camp is structured to meet the needs of dancers who desire exposure to a variety of dance styles, including jazz, pom, and hip-hop, with an emphasis on style, technical execution, flexibility, jumps, turns and performance. All dancers are evaluated by the staff and assigned to a level based on experience and skill. Instructors 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. Kelly Olsen Dance Camp utilizes the University’s state-of-the-art, air-conditioned facilities.
