OFFICER LEADERSHIP CAMP INFORMATION


OFFICER LEADERSHIP 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, working with the band, public relations, etiquette, criticism, how to teach, polishing, perfecting, time management, procrastination, discipline, and more! Plus 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!
