THE EXPERIENCE
We have specifically developed the 6 Night
Dancers Paradise experience to cater to EVERYONE
that attends, whether you’re a dancer, a teacher,
studio owner, or parent!
DANCERS
Our program is divided into 2 categories: Juniors (age 9-12), and
Teens (age 13 & up). Dancers are expected to be at an intermediate
to advanced level to participate as they will be pushed and chal-
lenged in intensive workshop classes. Dancers will also have the
opportunity to audition in front of our headliners to work with them
in creating an original routine to perform. There will also be the
chance for dancers to be invited to take part in a concept video shoot
around the resort.
TEACHERS/OWNERS
We have a program created for teachers which consists of educational/
creative process classes, training classes, as well as networking events.
As teachers ourselves, we understand the need for teacher training
and how important it is.
PARENTS/CHAPERONES
We keep the dancers so busy that you have time to relax, for once!
You can be as active or zen as you’d like, and enjoy all of the amenities the
resort has to offer. We have planned activities for parents/families while
your dancer is busy doing what they love. If you have another child who
will not be dancing, there is a fabulous “Playroom” for younger guests that
can keep them busy throughout the day. Need a night out and have a
small child? Nanny & babysitting services are also available via the resort
(inquire for costs).
