A week of dancing like in an English dance studio: at the Dance Spotlight Camp in Göppingen-Hohenstaufen, teens aged 13 to 17 train hip-hop, contemporary, jazz and freestyle – entirely in English with native-speaker trainers. From technique and choreography to stage presence, the group builds towards the big Friday dance showcase for family and friends. Accommodation, all meals and 24/7 supervision included.
The concept
Welcome to the dance company
From the first beat, everyone is part of a dance company. Technique workshops move through hip-hop, contemporary and jazz – led in English by our native-speaker team.
Then the group builds its own choreography: create, rehearse, refine. Direction, feedback and every creative decision run in English while the week’s energy builds towards one point.
At the final showcase every dancer takes the stage – with a piece the group created itself.

You’re part of the camp week too
From midweek updates to the big Final Presentation — you won’t miss a thing.
The Final Presentation
On the last day, you’re warmly invited to watch the campers show off what they’ve built over the week — from magical short films to adventure journals, from businesses they’ve launched to the final dance ensemble. Standing up and presenting in English is often the moment their new confidence really shows. Ceremony, snacks and a certificate for every camper included.
Midweek updates
You don’t have to wait until the last day to see what’s going on — our trainers share photos and stories from camp midweek, so you can follow along with what the group is up to almost live.
Frequently asked questions
My child only speaks a little English – is that a problem?
No. Our trainers run the whole day in English but meet every child at their own level: understanding comes first, and speaking follows once it feels safe. Playing, building and rehearsing together, even quieter kids warm up quickly.
Who looks after the kids?
A LevelUp team of native-speaker and international trainers runs the programme and stays with the group throughout the camp week. Midweek we share photos and short updates, and you are warmly invited to the final presentation on the last day.
What if my child gets homesick?
Our team is around day and night and knows the classic second-evening dip well: closeness, distraction and a full programme usually do the trick. If a child needs more than that, we call you directly and decide together.
How do I register my child?
Right from the booking section on this page – via the booking link or an enquiry. After registering you receive all details on the schedule, packing list and payment.
