LINE CAMP INFORMATION

LINE CAMP ROUTINES: Your team will go home with up to 20 exciting, original routines featuring a variety of kick, hip hop, jazz, prop, novelty, military, lyrical, modern, and pom routines. What you won’t see in the Showtime International camp curriculum are routines that all look alike and can’t be used, causing you to waste your time choreographing your routines. The choreography is fresh and interesting, the result of many hours of staff time spent in preparation and fine-tuning. Routines are taught to new band arrangements, and many are taught to popular songs. A complete list of props and music will be posted on our website by May 30 and printed notes are furnished to each school at camp.

INSTRUCTORS: Without a doubt the best instructors teach for Showtime. Many have been drill team directors and all of them have had years of dance/drill team experience in choreography, teaching, and performing. They are from the Kilgore Rangerettes, Tyler Apache Belles, Trinity Valley Cardettes, Navarro Showstoppers, SWTSU Strutters, Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, SMU Pom Squad, Texas Tech Pom Squad, UT Pom Squad, SFA Pom Squad, NTSU Dance Team, Blinn Treasures, NESLU High Tech Dancers, OCU Dance Company, UT Dance Company, and owners of dance studios - a variety with vision! You will find their routines ready to be used, with very little need for adaptation and “cleaning up.” Each instructor has her own style, and you are sure to find what your team needs and wants. Every year Showtime receives countless praises on the skillful teaching, talented dancing, enthusiasm, and friendliness of our instructors, who are dedicated to making your week exactly what you expect!

CUSTOM ROUTINES: Teams who would like to have routines choregraphed exclusively for them may request custom routines at any of our line camp locations. In addition to learning the first day’s camp dances, extra routines are choreographed especially for your team to the music of your choice. Minimum of 30 girls in attendance. Music selection and choice of routines are required by April 15.

FEATURES: A special stretching session, featuring beginning through advanced stretches; tips on polishing and perfecting routines; showmanship; stand dances at each camp.

HOME ROUTINE: Home routine competition is required at line camps, officer camps and commuter camps. We encourage directors to enter all of their girls in a Home Routine as it helps the girls prepare for learning at camp and is not counted into the final award. It is a separate award. Home routine evaluation is held on the first morning of line and officer camps and the last day of commuter line camps.

CLASSES: Line and Officer camps begin with registration from 8-8:30 a.m. Classes conclude on the last day by 4 p.m. for line camps.

MEALS: Begin with lunch the first day and end with lunch the last day. Breakfasts are not included at Hotel Camps.

HOUSING: Dancers are housed four to a room at hotels.

WHAT TO BRING: Coat hangers, practice clothes, uniform, CD player with batteries, notebook, pen, shoes, camera and film, alarm clock, knee pads, breakfast items, poms and props.

ENROLLMENT: Is limited at each camp site, so please make your reservations now to assure your team a place at your first choice of Showtime camp dates.

ELITE DANCER: Several outstanding dancers are selected “Elite Dancer” based on their performance of the routines taught at camp.

EVALUATION: Ribbon evaluation is held on the third day of camp, with the instructor for each class awarding blue, red, white and green ribbons to each girl. Team evaluation is held on the third day of camp.

ALLSTARS: Auditions for the “Showtime Allstars” are held at each camp.
