Experience Dance
With CAMP SUMMERS USA

Working as a specialist dance counselor at a summer camp in the United States is an opportunity to share energy, movement, and creativity with children and teenagers from all over the world. During the summer, you will be able to teach choreographies, organize rhythm games, and help campers express themselves through their bodies in a positive and inclusive environment. Dance has the ability to bring together people with different languages, experiences, and levels of confidence, so it can become one of the most memorable activities of the program. Your role will not only be to teach steps: you will create a space where each participant can feel free to move, learn, laugh, and overcome shyness alongside their peers.

Responsibilities

As a specialist dance counselor, you will prepare sessions adapted to the ages and level of the group. You will be able to work with styles you are comfortable with, such as modern dance, hip hop, jazz, urban dance, Latin rhythms, basic ballet, contemporary, or themed choreographies. Activities may include warm-ups, rhythm exercises, coordination, body memory, step sequences, improvisation, and group practice. You might also take part in festivals, talent nights, themed celebrations, or end-of-camp performances. It will be important to explain movements in a simple way, offer variations for different abilities, and maintain a progression that allows everyone to move forward. The best session is not the most complicated one, but the one that makes the group want to keep participating and enjoying themselves.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

For this position, people with experience in dance, teaching, entertainment, choreography, or youth activities are valued. Patience, charisma, organization, and the ability to adapt an activity to very different groups are also important. Each camp has its own criteria, but your enthusiasm and ability to connect with participants will be just as valuable as your technical level. You will work in English on a daily basis, live alongside international counselors, and develop communication, leadership, and group management skills. If dance is an important part of your life and you want to share it in a multicultural setting, a summer as a specialist counselor in the United States can help you grow both on and off the dance floor.

SAFETY FIRST

Dance supports the development of both physical and personal skills. Campers improve coordination, balance, flexibility, spatial awareness, and endurance, but they also learn to listen, work as a group, and respect other people’s effort. As a counselor, you will be able to build the self-esteem of those who feel unsure at first and show that you don’t need to be a professional to enjoy dance. A celebratory attitude will be essential: recognizing effort, inviting applause for progress, and avoiding comparisons will help create a healthy environment. In group projects, children will learn to synchronize, take on responsibilities, and understand that a choreography works best when every member contributes their energy and attention.
