Hotel Line & Social
Officer Camp
Great Leaders Aren't Born, They Are Developed!
At Danceline, we believe that camp is the place to be empowered, pushed and developed into more than you ever thought you could be. Our staff work hard to develop curriculum, choreography and technique classes that meet each dancer where they are and challenge them to go to the next level.
“As I director, when I leave this camp I feel refreshed with passion and purpose. The Officer Camp helped my officers gain not only confidence, but the skills to lead the team to a successful year. They are more motivated than ever!”
Sharitza Ordonez, Brenham HS Director
EARLY ARRIVAL OPTION
Plan to arrive the night prior to camp in order to explore the resort or hotel amenities. Traveling far? Then this is the option for you. Most hotels allow check in between 3-4pm allowing you time to unload, unpack and bond before camp begins! We highly recommend this option for all campers.
Don't Need Hotel?
HOTEL COMMUTER OPTIONS
For those who do not need the hotel option of our camp experience, here are the Hotel Commuter Camp Options that you can choose from.
NO HOME ROUTINE NEEDED
“Out of all the officer camps we have attended, Danceline is clearly the best officer curriculum, hands down! We appreciate how much detail you put into your seminars.”
- Keri Pierce, Lindale HS Director
