The K-Pop Experience: TRAINEE CAMP

October 24–25, 2026 | 18+

Tampa, FL

Step into a weekend of choreography, formations, performance training, teamwork, and filming inspired by the K-pop trainee experience.

This is more than a dance workshop.

Over two days, participants will work with their coaches to learn a girl-group or boy-group choreography, clean their movement, understand formations, strengthen their performance quality, and prepare for a final filmed performance.

Experience Level: Previous dance experience is recommended

Space will be limited to protect the quality of the training experience.

SEASON 1

  • "One thing I still remember from participating in K-Pop Experience Season 1 is all of the amazing people I got to meet. Making new friends is something I genuinely enjoy, and being surrounded by people who share the same passion for K-pop made the experience even more meaningful. As someone who isn’t from the area and didn’t know many people, it was incredible to connect with others who had similar interests. Knowing I left with friendships and a community that shared my love for K-pop is something that has truly stayed with me long after the experience ended."

    — Ava W.

  • “You should join the kpop experience if you’ve ever wanted to feel like an idol for a weekend!! I’ve always wanted to see what it feels like performing, filming, and learning a new dance under a time constraints. it was so fun and I recommend this experience to anyone who has ever wanted to experience something like this!!”
