Dance at Maine Camps

As we celebrate International Dance Day — a day dedicated to the universal language of movement, rhythm, and expression - we think about dance at Maine Camps. There’s no better place to embrace dance than at Maine Camps where every day brings new opportunities to move and groove.

Whether campers are perfecting pirouettes, mastering a hard hitting hip-hop routine, or just dancing for fun, at Maine Camps, dance is woven into the fabric of camp life. It’s everywhere:

• in studio classes where campers learn jazz, ballet, hip hop, jazz, and more from top-notch instructors. There are classes for every skill level and interest. It’s not just about learning steps; it’s about building confidence, creativity, and community.

• at dance shows where campers perform on stage for their friends and counselors, showing off what they’ve learned and shining in the spotlight.

• in camp plays and musicals. Theaterical dance numbers often steal the show!

• in all-camp competitions like Olympics, dance often plays a starring role — whether it’s a high-energy team dance battle, a themed dance-off, or a choreographed routine that earns major spirit points

• at impromptu dance parties. It’s not uncommon to find cabins of campers bursting into a dance party, grooving by their tables in the dining hall, or breaking out on the fields and basketball courts.

Dance at Maine camps is more than just an activity — it’s a celebration of joy, friendship, and self-expression.

So on International Dance Day, we’re sending a big shout-out to all the campers and staff who can’t wait to shake a leg at Maine Camps this summer. We’re so excited to dance, smile, and spread that camp magic one move at a time!
