Going to training camps is a very important part of the life of a dancer. First of all, you get the chance to have access to certain teachers that otherwise might be a bit hard to get to. Secondly, it’s a very good opportunity to increase your network.
Dancesportlife X Training Camps
Us, at Dancesportlife, understand that the information you receive at training camps is very valuable, but sadly, you cannot physically go to every camp.
