Please bring!
All Beaver Dam campers!! Attention!! I need you to bring 3 photos of you dancing for a craft project we are doing. They can be recent or from the time you first put on a tutu!
Fun, fun, fun!
Wow! It’s almost time for our Beaver Dam camp to start! I can’t wait to try out the go-carts at Fondy Sports Park. Recently my husband bought a golf cart for us to use around our place – we live on 2.5 acres. It’s pretty cool zipping around, but not quite fast enough for me! I’m thinking go-carts might satisfy my need for speed! 
LAKE FOREST – Week 2 “The Best of Broadway”
Day 1 saw the campers learning some original choreography from the Radio City Rockette’s Christmas Show. Taught by our very own Rockette, Alexis Thebolt! This week the “New York Dreamers,” “Wicked Wonders” and “Jazz Handz” are competing for team points. We are off to Six Flags Great America today for some water park fun at Hurricane Harbor.
We are excited to have campers from Spain and Germany joining us this week!!
Lake Forest Week 1 “Shoot for the Stars”
The “Space-Jammers,” “Super Stars” and “Starbucks” have been competing for team points with their leaders E-Knock, Eden and Keri. They all had to make up a team chant that they break out doing whenever they hear a staff member say a certain code word. Today is TWIN TUESDAY and the goal is dress like another camper or staff. Lots of pink and black outfits today! Fun dance classes in Contemporary, Hip Hop and Jazz daily, and lots of dance electives as well. Lot’s going on to keep the campers busy!

Kimberly Blosser grew up in New Jersey where she studied dance from the age of 5. She majored in dance at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan, where she discovered a love for modern dance. During her years at WSU, Kimberly had the opportunity to study with guest artists such as The Martha Graham Company, Garth Fagan Company, B.J. Sullivan, and Gina Gibney. She also enjoyed working with accomplished classmates, including Chris Masters and Sonya Tayeh. Kimberly was one of a few students invited to join the CounterGroove Dance Company as an apprentice, under the direction of her mentor, Erica Wilson-Perkins. After graduating in 2002, Kimberly relocated to Chicago, Illinois to continue training with Wilson-Perkins, serving as a teacher’s assistant and substitute at Colombia College. Kimberly also taught at Copeland Dance in St. Charles, where she enjoyed working with young dancers of all ages. Currently, she dances, choreographs, and teaches as a member of the Perfected Praise Dance Ministry at Living Word Christian Center in Forest Park. She is also a Pilates instructor and teaches at From The Center in Chicago. Kimberly’s other interests include running and hiking. She is currently training to run in her third Bank of America Chicago Marathon.
