INVITING FRIENDS AND SIBLINGS
Summer Ballroom Camp is a great opportunity for your friends and siblings to come and try ballroom and see how much fun it is! We’re always needing more boys on our teams but most boys think they won’t like ballroom until they TRY it. Summer Ballroom Camp is the perfect time for them to come and try it! Thanks for inviting your friends and siblings, you’re our best form of advertising and we really appreciate you. With our “Refer-a-boy Discount”, when returning dancers help a new boy register for a team you get $10 off your tuition all year as a thank you. We appreciate your referrals!

Everyone is welcome to register for camp and for our 2026-2027 dance season whether or not you’ve danced at our studio before, and no experience is necessary.

Create an account, then follow the instructions listed above for our returning dancers. If you have any questions or problems please text me at 208-589-0382, I’m happy to help!
- New girls registering without a new boy
Everyone is welcome at Summer Ballroom Camp whether or not you register with a boy, but camp is a GREAT time for new boys to come and try ballroom with no obligation if you’d like to invite some boys. If you’re a girl that’s NEW to our studio and you’d like to register for our 2026-2027 teams, we ask that you register with a boy of similar age that’s also new to our studio, if possible. Ages 9-12 for Preteen Teams, ages 13-17 for Jr/Yth Teams. This is just to help our boy/girl ratio, you won’t be their assigned partner for the year. If you don’t have a new boy to register with you’re still welcome to register for a team and we’ll place you on a waiting list until our registration process is complete. We’ll do our best to make the numbers work, but if we don’t end up with a spot for you we’ll refund your registration fee. To register, just follow the instructions listed above for new dancers. We’re excited to have you!
