ESS Camp comes to Pensacola, Florida
For the very first time, ESS Camp is coming to Pensacola, Florida—and we couldn’t be more excited to bring this experience to a brand-new community. This location marks a special expansion for ESS, creating an opportunity for dancers in the region (and beyond) to train, connect, and grow in an intensive, high-energy environment surrounded by world-class instructors and passionate dancers.


Registration is now open!
To register for ESS Pensacola Camp, please select your level based on your current WSDC points and the division you would typically dance in Jack & Jill competition. This helps ensure you are placed in the most appropriate training environment for your growth and experience.
After choosing your level, you will see an option during registration asking if you would like to audition for a higher level. You may select “Yes” if you are interested in being considered for advancement, or “No” if you prefer to remain in the level you registered for.
Please note that auditions will take place on Friday at approximately 2:00 PM. Advancement is not guaranteed, and selections will be made by the instructors based on readiness and overall evaluation.
If you do not currently have WSDC points and would still like to attend, please register for Level 2. Dancers who wish to be considered for a higher level placement must participate in the Friday audition process.
Camp Levels
ESS Pensacola Camp is structured into four training levels based on WSDC experience:
- Level 2 – Novice
- Level 3 – Intermediate
- Level 4 – Advanced/All Star
Each level is designed with specific material and coaching appropriate for that group, allowing dancers to train at a focused and progressive pace. Participants should have a solid understanding of foundational patterns, with some experience in variations and transitions, in order to fully benefit from the intensive training environment.
