A level Training Camp must be well planned, structured. Group classes must touch different aspects and each teacher must contribute that subject or aspects in which it is more specified. The role of the organizer is essential by selecting the most suitable and elite International Coaches Panel. Not only choose specialists in Latin and Standard. There are coatches specialists in pure technique, others in the artistic manifestation, others scan you and tell you clearly in which aspects of the many that there are more lazy and you should improve, or in which dance you are below the others, perhaps because the choice of some figures that are not correct for your characteristics as a dancer. Sometimes the characteristics of the boy as a dancer are not ideal for dancing with the girl with whom he dances or vice versa. This happens because there are different «types» of dancers and sometimes in the couple «he is not for her and vice versa».

This has two solutions: that someone who understands you say it – difficult because it is a delicate matter – or be in the hands of a great specialist who knows how to look for the right figures and the correct execution of them to try to «join the water with the oil».

There are international teachers like Ilya Danilov who is a living Scanner. That is why they call it «ORACULUS». If he wants and you ask him, he can revolutionize your life in an instant. I could tell you: he is not for you or you are not for her. In 1 minute of your dance vision, he will know more about you than you can ever imagine. I could also tell you which figures are not for you and configure a program according to your characteristics. But be careful if you ask for maximum sincerity: you can leave a class confused with him.

It is better that you go with the very clear ideas of what you want to ask the teacher. The 45 minutes run very fast and are very expensive. The best thing is something specific, convey what you need in a specific way in the first minutes of the class. Before you, you must have made a reflection of the most important thing you need and the exhibition begins must be clear and concrete.

If you do not go with the concrete ideas, the teacher will give you a generic class that may be more successful or less, and you will know little by little. It’s up to you that the class is worth it.

A great international coach (not everyone) knows how to do this, but of course, it will not be easy to be offered or offered at the first. It is something that goes out of the ordinary, you will need an approach to that teacher to enter that field.

The normal dates to attend a Training Camp is in summer to prepare the competition season that begins in August-September. Also at Christmas-New Year. But there are other Training Camps at other times of the year that are very interesting to attend.

In a few years, we have moved from a few closed camps, focused on training, to several camps each month with the best teachers and couples from around the world.

So you understand that you can get a good Training Camp. I mention below the pros and cons of a Training Camp point of view of a dancer:

PROS
1. Time saving
You can have lessons with many teachers in the same place. You save money and time, compared to the previous system in which we needed to fly or drive each teacher separately.

2. Increased motivation
You can find a larger group of dancers to train. Your presence will inspire you and motivate you to do better. You will hardly find elsewhere the same adrenaline and energy you get during resistance training in a training camp.

3. Expand your device
You can expand your group of favorite teachers. In fact, it can sometimes happen that I book a lesson with a teacher just because he / she is on the training camp list. But in the end, you can get an unexpectedly surprising lesson. Then you wonder why, until that moment, you have never considered studying with that teacher.

4. You will be noticed
Compared to competitions, the atmosphere in a training camp is generally more relaxed. The people around you have more time and will look at you with different eyes. If you really are a good dancer, but you still don’t have a large audience, during training camps people will notice you and start taking you into account.

5. Make friends
In a training camp, dancers can let others see how they really are in normal life. Teachers and other dancers can sometimes have a distorted idea of ​​you if they only met you during competitions. During a training camp, you have a good chance to turn your enemies into friends.

6. Level up!
It is very common to see a couple improve their level day by day during a training camp. Be it the amount of information, the quality of the lessons or the contagious emotion, the truth is that the training fields help you grow and improve. The truth is that it happens often and that is one of the main reasons why so many dancers attend training camps.

CONS
1. A training camp can be really expensive
A training camp can be quite expensive. If your budget is not large enough to be free-minded and simply take and leave, try to plan ahead. Start saving money!

2. Overprice
The actual price you will pay per lesson may be higher than usual. In fact, most of the time, you will have to pay an additional price that goes directly to the organization … This surcharge allows organizers to pay for plane tickets, accommodation and transportation for teachers.

3. The energy level.
The quality of the private lesson you get can vary greatly. As teachers are working up to 12 or 14 lessons per day. At the end of a long day, your teacher may not be able to give his 100%.

4. It will affect your program
As a training camp is generally not planned for weekends and lasts several days, it can be a problem for those who cannot easily get free time or reorganize their schedule.

5. Contradictory information
The amount of information you are going to get is huge and everything happens in a very short time. This will usually create some problems. Sometimes the information you receive is contradictory. A teacher will say one thing, and the other exactly the opposite. The funny thing is that both things may be true, but it is difficult to combine the information. You have to let the knowledge be absorbed.

In addition, it may not be easy to practice all the knowledge you acquired before starting the next lesson. Therefore, you can easily forget what you just learned.

6. Too easy? Too hard?
Very often you will see that there are different levels of participants, from juniors to seniors, from beginners to advanced. The teacher has to find a way to run a workshop that is interesting for everyone. But, this is going to be a problem for you.

Sometimes, they organize different groups for younger students or for older people. However, sometimes this is not happening and the group lesson ends up not being useful. For example, if you are a beginner and the teacher is playing a topic that is too difficult to understand or, conversely, if you are a high-level couple and the topic is too simple for you, time and money are you investing It won’t be worth it.

Once analyzed what can be useful to attend an International Training Camp, we will mention below the main International Training Camps both WDC and WDSF.
