Full Circle Dance Camp
Where dance meets adventure
The story behind
Full Circle Dance Camp
Full Circle Dance Camp started with a question: Why should dancers have to choose between dance camp and summer camp?
For Claire, that question was personal. Her own daughter loved dance, but she also loved being outside and having adventures. When Claire went looking for a summer experience that offered both, she couldn’t quite find it. She wanted great dance training without spending the whole summer inside a studio.
Genoa, with more than two decades of experience as a dance educator and a lifelong background in dance, built her own dance studio around the idea that dance can help kids grow far beyond technique. She had also seen firsthand through her own son just how transformative overnight camp could be.
Suddenly, the idea clicked: why not bring the best parts of both together?
And just like that, Full Circle Dance Camp was born: part dance intensive, part classic summer camp, and a whole lot of Colorado adventure.

She had a great time. It was her first sleepover camp, and she seems more confident in her ability to make friends which is great going into middle school.

Loved by campers and parents!
★★★★★
I enjoyed having a balance between dance and outdoor activities. I love dancing in that beautiful environment, and getting away from normal life - I even liked not having my phone for the week.
