New Location:
We have moved the Brainerd camp to the beautiful Just For Kix Studio.  We feel the environment will offer a smaller more contained environment that will be less intimidating to younger children.   Older dancers will benefit from the hands on training and mirrors.

The Brainerd Studio has 4 mirrored dance rooms. The beautiful harlequin floors were created to cushion dancers legs. It will be ideal for the CAMP.  It also has a beautiful lobby to hang out in and a dance boutique. Convenient outside area to practice as well as the lodge ballrooms should the camp grow large.

It is across the street from “The Lodge Hotel” which is convenient for families from other communities. Stay at “The Lodge” and enjoy the water park during off times.  Families can experience the Brainerd Lakes area when camp is not in session. Walking distance from the studio.

The St Cloud 4 Day Camp will be held at the Beautiful Just For Kix Studio in Sartell. This camp will be like the Brainerd Camp.

New Schedule:
K-3rd grade will dance from 8:00 a.m. – noon
Grades 4th -6th 1:00 p.m. -5:00 p.m.
Dancers 7th grade and up are encouraged to attend the intensive and/or one of the high school camps. See those brochures or check out our website for more information. www.justforkix.com

We feel the shorter time will actually be MORE productive as the kids will not get so over tired.  Four shorter days, rather than three longer ones will make the kids more able to retain new material.

We have added a day to insure the same amount of hours. (There is actually one more hour.)

Camp instruction will include:
Jazz, kick, hip-hop and more.  Styles such as prop, lyrical, ballet, and pom may be included.  Focus will be on technique, learning and FUN. Dancers will learn new ideas, tips, and skills to take them to the next level.

Instructors:
At Just For Kix, we take incredible pride in the staff we select to instruct our summer camps. Just For Kix staff members are dedicated to you, and to making sure each dancer is getting the most out of their camp experience. Finally, we pride ourselves in a staff that is real. Their commitment is real. Their interactions are real. Their passion is so real; you can’t help but join in on the fun and learning!

Solo and Doubles Contest:
We have dropped this contest locally and have added it on line.  The numbers have diminished in the last few years so the on line approach made more sense. Plans are in the works for both an online solo contest and solo contests in conjunction with United We Dance Competitions.

The Final Show:
The show will be held in the large studio with parents standing around the perimeter. It will be low-key and focus on your child’s age group only.  It will be much smaller than our typical show.  Kids will not need to be transported as in the past. You will be watching your child’s age group, rather than all of them.  We figure you really wish to see your child anyway!!! Expect to stand around the perimeter, as it will be in the studio rather than a gym. We will have a few chairs reserved for those who cannot stand. 

Fun, Cheers, Games and Skits:
Fun elements will be interjected various times during camp!  Enjoy camaraderie with staff and friends.

SMALLER more close knit environment.  Parents will feel more secure with dancers contained in the studio space.

Camp Fee:
$95.00 • Camp cost includes: Camp collectors T-shirt, freezies and snack.

DANCE CAMP 2010. YOU CAN SHINE!!!
Let our staff show you how to make your dance dreams possible. Improve your skills, increase flexibility, gain style and have fun at JFK Summer Dance Camp 2010! Dance camp will be the highlight of your summer. We offer high-level instructors and high-energy dance routines. Our goal has been to share secrets and methods to take dancers to the next level. We know the dancers go home better and stronger performers. In addition to being a great learning experience, camp is just plain FUN. Zany skits pumped up cheers, new friends, and more. I feel camp is a true value. Three full days of instruction, a show, cute T-shirt, 3 lunches...all for ONLY $95. Camps are organized and efficient. After 25 years, we have the organization of camps down to a science. Dancers are separated by age groups and come together for lunch and shows. We enjoy the heart-warming evaluations on how much parents appreciate our detailed approach. Our staff hopes to see YOU at one of our JFK camps this summer!

Dancers compete with the grade they will be in for the 2010-2011 school year. If all dancers are not in the same age group, they must move to the oldest group member¹s age group. All routines can only be 90 seconds. *There is a minimal charge of $10.00 per person for entering this event.

Q. What do I wear to camp?
A. Active wear. Something you can dance in. Shorts, leotards, leggings, jazz pants, t-shirts, etc. Make sure you bring a comfortable pair of shoes to dance in too. Tennis shoes or your dance shoes will work great!

Q. What should I bring to camp?
A. You will want to bring a water bottle, snacks for breaks, money for the camp store and a great attitude and smile. Be ready to DANCE and have FUN!

A. Your camp t-shirt, which you will receive Day 1. Bottooms can be any type of active wear such as leggings, shorts, or jazz pants. Shoes can be tennis shoes or your dance shoes.

Q. Won't I get tired dancing all day?
A. Oh yeah....but There are breaks between each class, so bring energizing snacks from home to re-fuel.

Q. Who will be there?
A. You will meet dancers from many different programs in different cities and states, from as far away as Alaska and New Jersey. Lots of Dancers develop pen-pal relationships and look forward to rekindling friendships again next summer.

Q. What about different age levels, how does that work?
A. Dancers are divided into groups, K-1st, 2nd-3rd, 4th-5th, 6th-7th, and 8th-9th. All dancers can cross over to a different group if the want to be with a friend. (Class divisions will vary from camp to camp depending on size.)

Q. Isn't that a long day for the youngest dancers?
A. They'll come home tired, but we have non-dancing activities for them too. We color (dance pictures of course) and play games, etc.

Q. What about Junior High Dancers?
A. We challenge them more. They learn harder routines. The camp staff usses the same materials which they teach around the country at high school camps. Junior high dancers also receive tips on nutrition, technique work and preparation for high school teams.

Q. Do participants have to be members of a Just For Kix program?
A. No. Many of our members bring cousins or friends to camp. There are also many dance studios who send their dancers to JFK Camp.

Q. Who are the camp directors?
A. Camp directors vary from camp to camp. They are strong Youth Program Directors or Camp Directors from our high school camps.

Q. What are the lunches?
A. Lunches are included in the camp fee. Each day they are catered from an area food vendor. They vary from camp to camp. (Example: Subway, Domino's Pizza. Bismark Camp lunch is catered from the college.) You may bring a cooler with other snacks if you choose.
