Utopia Dance Camp
For the twelfth consecutive year, Utopia is proud to offer a week of dance instruction,
time with good friends, and fun.  Participants are divided into groups according to age
where the main focus is having a good time.  Camp instructors do work on technique
and other aspects of performing, but an emphasis is placed on enthusiasm, fun, and
positive attitudes.  Each girl leaves camp with a greater sense of self-confidence and a
taste of what it takes to be part of a team.

The week before camp, each participant will receive a letter from her Utopia "big sister"
describing what to expect during the week of camp.  Performance day for family and
friends is the final day of camp, Friday, June 13th.  Camp dancers will present what was
learned during the week.  At this time, final awards are presented and each participant
will receive a special gift from her "big sister."  Utopia camp is truly the best week of the
summer!  We look forward to seeing YOU there!
Utopia camp is offered to girls between the ages of 5 and 16.  Classes are grouped
according to age and are instructed by members of the nationally ranked Utopia
dance team.  New members of Utopia are selected in different ways, one of these
opportunities being during the Utopia Camp week.  If you are interested in
becoming a member of Utopia, participating in camp is a great place to start!
Time and Location:
This year's camp and final performance day will be held at Margaret Buerkle Middle School in the
Mehlville School District.  Buerkle is located at 623 Buckley Rd., off Sappington Brks.
Camp is held daily from 8:30A.M. - 11:00A.M.

Each participant will receive a Utopia Camp T-shirt to wear on the final performance day.  In addition,
each girl will receive a gift from her Utopia "big sister."
Special Days During Camp Week

Each day during camp week, Utopia celebrates a different spirit day.  Past favorites include
"Crazy Hair Day" and "Pajama Day."  The most intense competition comes with "Team Color
Day."  At the conclusion of this camp day, all groups are involved in a chant competition.  All
campers vote on the overall best presentation of a "team" and a group spirit award is presented
on the final day of camp.
