OFFICER CAMP: It takes leaders to teach leaders, and that’s what you’ll find at Showtime’s super officer camps -- former captains, officers, and directors teaching your officers “hands-on” training in choreography, charting music, motivation, self-evaluation, organizing, goal setting, voice control, confidence, commanding authority, drill team makeup, working with the band, public relations, etiquette, criticism, how to teach, polishing, perfecting, time management, procrastination, discipline, and more! Plus 7-10 flashy routines to take home to your team! Time after time we hear the results -- directors tell us the camp “really made them begin acting like officers, taking charge, and showing the confidence they need to lead the team.”
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 CAMPS: Teams who would like to have routines choregraphed exclusively for them may request custom routines at any of our 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 May 1.
FEATURES: A special stretching session, featuring beginning through advanced stretches; tips on polishing and perfecting routines; drill team makeup, showmanship; classes for officers at each camp.
HOME ROUTINE: A home routine of approximately two minutes is required for teams who want to be eligible for Sweepstakes at officer camp. Home routine competition is optional at line camp. 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.
CLASSES: Line and Officer camps at universities begin with registration from 9-10:00 a.m. Classes conclude by 1 p.m. for line camps and by 4 p.m. for officer camp on the final day.
MEALS: Begin at noon the first day and end with breakfast the last day (includes lunch at officer camp). Meals are served in the university cafeteria.
HOUSING: Students are housed in air-conditioned dorms, two girls to a room. Students may indicate their choices of roommates at registration.
WHAT TO BRING: Sheets for twin bed, pillow, blanket, towels, soap, $5 key deposit, coat hangers, practice clothes, uniform, cassette tape recorder with batteries, notebook, pen, tennis shoes, camera and film, alarm clock, knee pads.
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. It is not necessary to send in students’ names at this time. You may bring your list of roommates to registration. Deposits may be submitted at any time before May 31. Payments in full must be received in the Showtime office three weeks before the camp begins. No exceptions. Universities now require full payment in advance for all campers. Just fill out the enclosed form and send it in right away. Late registrations are accepted if space is available.
MISS SHOWTIME: Several outstanding dancers are selected “Miss Showtime,” 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 final day of camp, with teams competing by performing any of the major routines presented on the first day. Home routine evaluation is also held on the final day of camp.
ALLSTARS: Auditions for the “Showtime Allstars” are held at each camp. Allstars have opportunities to take special trips and present special
performances in recognition of their extra talent and ability. The Allstar Team performed at the NFL Pro Bowl in Honolulu, the Independence Bowl, the Liberty Bowl, the San Antonio Allstar Thanksgiving Trip, the Hall of Fame Bowl, the Fiesta Flambeau Parade, the Holiday Bowl, the Alamo Bowl, the
