Every summer, Brigham Young University in Provo, UT (50 miles south of Salt Lake City) hosts two Ballroom Dance Camps for Adults, and one Ballroom Dance Camp for Youths.
In years past, I have attended the adult camps and had a fantastic time. Not only is the access to quality instruction superb, but the instructors are the very people who often judge at the competitions Sarah and I attend.
Youth Camp
04-07 August 2008
Adult Camps
Camp I: 07 July - 11 July 2008
Camp II: 28 July - 01 August 2008
The adult camps offer a full week of dance classes, social dances, performance, and full immersion into ballroom dancing. The organizers limit enrollment to ~250 participants. In the years I have attended, there have been about 30-40 participants under age 30, with most of the participants ages 40 and above.

8:00 performance
Directed by distinguished Argentine ballerina and choreographer Carolina Soler, the 10 dancers of Estampas Porteñas are joined by the musicians of Quatrotango and singer Javier di Ciriaco to create an amazing performance showcasing Argentina’s heart and soul. “Tension gave way to voluptuous softness, and powerful overhead lifts melted onto the floor in silken extensions. As the title goes, they were on fire.†(The New York Times)
