Whether you're looking to take your skills to the next level or get an exclusive peek into the life of an Ohio State Dance Team member, this is the camp you can't miss. The OSUDT Training Camp will be our BIGGEST camp of the season and will feature a variety of guest and master classes, combo classes, introduction to the collegiate game day experience, and team information. Dancers will be able to interact and learn from OSUDT members and coaches in a variety of class settings. This summer, you have the unique opportunity to experience firsthand what it's like to train like a Buckeye!
This summer we are excited to present two camp formats: 2-day and 3-day. The 3-day option is only available to dancers entering grades 11 or 12 and includes additional training, the opportunity to perform a solo and additional classes! See below for the full list of what is included in each option!
