BDT Unity
Each year, BDT focuses on a theme where motivating activities and team building exercises are promoted and encouraged.
Camp Dance
Camp Dance is a fun, up beat routine taught to the entire camp. While your dancers learn this routine, they are encouraged to work together, support other teams and gain confidence in their performance skills. The routine will be complete with formations for your team and will be performance ready at the end of camp.

Drill Down Training & Contest
Teams will be taught the basics and technique of how to do a drill down and will get the opportunity to compete at the end of the week.
Free Practice
This time is set-aside for you and your team to practice and clean the things they are learning at camp.
Hip Hop Master Class
This class offers the opportunity to have fun and just dance! No pressure to remember formations or cleaning, the dancers can just learn a great combo and keep up with the latest trends in hip-hop.
Lyrical Master Class
During this class, dancers will learn a lyrical style combo and be given the opportunity to dance for each other, improve and enjoy the passion that is dancing.
Military Technique
Your team will be fine tuned in precision, strength, clean arm lines, posture, sharpness and how to execute their military routines with solid accuracy. In one hour you will watch your team gain confidence and perfect the techniques that make a championship team.
Performance Routines
BDT will provide two performance routines at each camp. These routines are taught complete with formations, ripples and showmanship! You can choose to divide your team in half so that you can learn both routines or you can choose to send your whole team to one so that it is completely performance ready depending on your needs.
Routine Showcase
At the end of each camp, we provide a routine showcase that friends and family are invited and encouraged to attend. Each of the routines that are learned throughout the week will be performed and coaches can video so that the material will be readily available when you get home. This is not an evaluation! It is all about cheering each other on and showcasing the great things the dancers learned throughout the week.
Team Performance Night
Teams are invited to bring a routine from home to perform on the first night of camp. This is a fun, non-competition event! Once each team has performed, every team gets to vote for the "Most Entertaining Performance" and a Performance Night Champion is crowned! Friends and family are encouraged and welcome to attend Team Performance Night!
Team Photos
We have a professional photographer on staff that will capture your team's finest moments! On Team Performance Night, we offer the opportunity for each team to take an official BDT Camp photo. Your team will receive their copies on the last day of camp and they won't want to miss out on capturing the memories made at BDT!
The Edge Routine
This year, BDT is offering The Edge Routine! This exciting number will be exactly what it says...edgy, cool and fun! This will be a routine that your team will want to perform over and over!
Technique Class
The BDT staff are some of the best technicians and teachers in the business. We provide serious training for your dancers, no matter the skill level.
*Beginning: For dancers, who need to work on the basics such as posture, clean arms, finding their center, flexibility, positions and footwork.
*Intermediate: Dancers will work all of the beginning skills while perfecting basic turns and jumps.
*Advanced: This class will focus on more difficult combinations for turns and jumps as well as flexibility and execution.
*Professional: This is an exclusive level reserved for those dancers who are striving toward a professional career. Class will include difficult turn and leap combos, attention to performance and how to get noticed.
Top Corp Contest
This is a fun opportunity for you to send up to five of your best dancers to represent your team in an individual contest of skill! On the last day of camp, five total dancers will be chosen to represent BDT as the TOP CORP for that camp. This is an honor and a fun event for the entire camp.
Warm Up
The most important thing a dancer can do is learning to warm up properly. If your body is in tip-top condition its potential is endless. We will teach your team the proper way to stretch and how to get results that will benefit you in your coming year.
