Is your program design only for groups of dancers and dance teams? No our programs are for individuals as well. We hold open camps during spring break and summer time. We also team individuals and smaller groups of dancers together. Smaller groups and individuals can also be teamed with larger groups so that participants can save money. Remember the larger the group the larger the discount. Keep in mind If you are an individual you may have to plan your trip around another group’s itinerary. Fill out the form on our price quote page and we will try to match you with a group.

Will dancers be evaluated? Yes, not only will the routines be evaluated but in every class dancers will be pushed to their highest level and then evaluated and given tips on how to achieve and maintain that level at all times.
Is this a family friendly experience? Yes, we feel if parents are sending their children to the Bahamas they too should be able to enjoy the great benefits of the trip and save money by making it a family vacation. Why send your child to the Bahamas wait on them to return home then take of on a family vacation?
Do I need a passport? Yes, driver's license and a notarized copy of your birth certificate will NOT work. U.S. Citizens traveling by air or sea will be required to have a current and valid passport. As of December 31, 2006 and beyond, The Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 requires that all air and sea travel to or from Canada, Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and Bermuda have passports. Start now on this simple but time consuming process. Following is a helpful link operated by our government http://travel.state.gov/passport/get/first/first_832.html
How safe are the classes and workshops in the Bahamas? Very safe; our classes are held in the hotel’s conference rooms where the students are staying or they are bused to a location for classes. They are never on their own trying to find their way to class or a workshop. All instructors and staff members have gone through a background check. Most of our staff are certified in CPR and have been trained to recognize the symptoms of heat exhaustion, heat stroke, and other sun related illnesses. There are rules set for all students before during and after classes. For those students under age 18 who have traveled without a parent we have strict rules and guide lines. No student under 18 will be accepted without parental endorsement of the student governing rules and regulations. Who can & cannot participate in these classes and workshops? Any high school or college student can participate granted, they have a background in dance. Our programs are also for coaches and choreographers of college and high school dance teams. Do you offer discounts for students that are related? YES, we understand the expense of such a commitment so we offer a special discount for students if they are related. Is food provided? If you travel with a group to one of our camps and your group decides to stay at an all inclusive resort, food will be included. Otherwise food is not provided, but there are lots of restaurants with competitive prices for students to choose from. Questions not answered here?
