The Little Falls Dance Team is excited to offer our Summer Dance Program for students entering grades 7–12 from the Little Falls, Royalton, and Pillager school districts. This program is open to current team members as well as students interested in joining the LFDT Winter Dance Team. All experience levels are welcome—from beginners to seasoned dancers. Our dedicated coaching staff works with each dancer to develop strong foundational skills while improving technique, endurance, strength, and flexibility in a supportive and inclusive environment. This is a great opportunity to grow as a dancer, build confidence, and connect with the LFDT community. In addition to the summer league, we offer optional private dance camps that require an additional fee. Examples include private camps with collegiate teams, for example, an SCSU Dance Team camp. These camps are not required for participation in the summer program, but do require a separate payment, based on the private camp fee. When possible, we schedule private camps on the same days as summer league practices to help keep schedules convenient. Because these opportunities are optional, only dancers who choose to participate are responsible for the additional cost, and no 'regular' practice will be held on those days. Dates and times for these opportunities will be shared directly from coaches. Dancers who participate in optional private camps or parades will need to purchase the LFDT tank top and shorts, which are reused each summer. These items are not included in the summer league fee, as those activities are optional.All athletes are expected to provide their own pair of jazz shoes and athletic lace up tennis shoes for practice. We recommend the tan Bloch Pulse Jazz Shoe from https://shop.justforkix.com. You can also reach out to coaches for questions about shoes. lfdt2019@gmail.com Join us this summer to train, improve, and be part of a positive and welcoming dance team experience!
