Welcome to Chills Dance Camp
About Chills. Movement, self-expression, connection.
We are a passionate community dedicated to empowering dancers through movement, self-expression, and connection. Our mission is to create transformative experiences that celebrate the art of dance while fostering personal growth and confidence.
Movement
that can
heal, inspire,
and unite.
Founded by Nika Chill. Second edition, September 11 through 13, 2026. Three days, one weekend.
Chills Dance Camp is a 3-day dance intensive in Los Angeles, founded by Nika Chill, running September 11 to 13, 2026. The camp offers 12 classes across heels, twerk, vogue femme, floorwork, and hip-hop, taught by 12 professional instructors, plus two industry lectures and a closing community circle. It is open to all experience levels.
We believe in the power of movement to heal, inspire, and unite. Our mission is to provide a safe and supportive environment where dancers of all levels can explore their artistry, build confidence, and connect with like-minded individuals.
Through expert instruction, innovative programming, and a commitment to inclusivity, we aim to elevate the dance experience and nurture the next generation of performers.
Our vision is to be the premier destination for dance education and community building, where passion meets purpose and every dancer finds their voice through movement. We strive to create transformative experiences that empower individuals, strengthen communities, and celebrate the diversity of movement.
Since our founding, we have touched the lives of thousands of dancers worldwide, creating lasting connections and fostering artistic growth that extends far beyond the studio walls. Chills is for the beginner taking her first steps, the working professional who needs a reset, and the teacher who still wants to be a student.
22 / Principles
What we
stand for.
Our principles fit on a single page. They shape every class, every booking, every session on the floor. This is what Chills is built on, and what we ask you to bring into the room with us.
05 / 05 principles
Community and connection.
Building a supportive network of dancers where everyone belongs and feels valued. You will know faces by Saturday and names by Sunday.
Empowerment and self-expression.
Encouraging authentic self-expression through movement and building confidence in every dancer. The floor is safe, the room is yours.
Continuous development.
Committed to growth through ongoing learning, skill development, and artistic evolution. We book working artists who still teach, so the work keeps moving.
World-class instruction.
Through expert instruction, innovative programming, and a commitment to inclusivity, we aim to elevate the dance experience and nurture the next generation of performers.
Partnership with Vamp Heels.
We are proud to partner with Vamp Heels, creating a synergy of artistry and innovation. Together we are building a stronger dance community and redefining what it means to move with purpose and passion.
