About
ADTC ULTIMATE Sierra Mountains California Dance Camp offers dance classes in contemporary, hip hop, jazz, Broadway (Bwy), lyrical, ballet, tap, and world dance. Campers take part in a big Friday Show, on-campus activities, a girls’ night out, a day at the beach with options to paddle board and swim, and a talent night where they can choreograph and perform their own dances.
• Ages: 8–17 years old
2026 is ADTC’s 24th summer. Classes are taught by professional choreographers, including Ellen Mihalick, a Radio City Rockette since 2013 with Broadway National Tour credits in An American in Paris and South Pacific; Lauren Goodman, who danced with Gem City Ballet’s Pre-Professional Company for 5 years and joined the Dayton Ballet Company; Sophia Michitson, a professional dancer, choreographer and educator and member of Hanna Q Dance Company; Christina Johnson (“CJ”), a professional dancer, choreographer and educator who has performed with multiple companies and on media including Fox 5 and America’s Got Talent; and Katelyn Martin, a professional dancer, choreographer and educator who graduated Summa Cum Laude from Loyola Marymount University with a BA in Dance and Communication Studies. The leadership team includes Ellen Mihalick as Instructor & Director at ADTC summer dance camps, Lauren Goodman as Program Director at ADTC in Colorado, Christina Johnson (“CJ”), who has directed and taught at ADTC locations, Sophia Michitson as Instructor-Counselor, and Katelyn Martin as professional dance staff. The camp is an overnight, all-girl program where girls are grouped by age and ability, everyone performs in the Friday Show, and all-female staff are housed on each dorm floor to provide 24-hour supervision and support. Campers stay in double, quad or sextet dorm rooms with shared bathrooms, and dorms are organized by age. On campus, there are laundry facilities and a Dance Canteen stocked with snacks, basic supplies, ADTC apparel, and souvenirs. The California dance camp blends dance, adventure, sun and summer fun in the Sierra Mountains and is based down the road from Palisades Tahoe, a ski resort with shops, restaurants, activities and fun. The camp’s mission states that it believes campers have to do what they love, that the world needs strong and inspired girls doing more of what they love, and that its goal is for every camper to have fun and grow as a dancer and a person. ADTC dance camps attract girls from every corner of the United States and all over the world, and the overall rating is 5 out of 5 based on 223 reviews. Parents describe the camp as an “amazing experience” where their daughters return with new friends, experiences and a renewed love of dance, and note activities such as girls’ night out, the day at the beach with paddle boarding and swimming, and talent night as highlights. One parent reports that her daughter has attended ADTC in Colorado since age 9 for five summers, another shares that her daughter has attended two summers in a row and enjoys both the dance instruction and non-dance activities, and several parents mention that their daughters look forward to returning each year. The camp’s Instagram handle @danceadtc offers a behind-the-scenes look at camp life.
