Chika Takai (Tour Producer)

Captain, Atlanta Hawks Dancers
WBFF Fitness Pro/ Certified Personal Trainer
Choreographer, NBA


Chika lives to share her passion as a dancer. Her passion for dance, fitness and cheer inspired her to launch Danceletics International (DI). She combined the worlds of fitness, dance and cheer together into an innovative fitness-based dance program for professional dancers and cheerleaders. Even as a life-long, seasoned dancer the infusion of fitness catapulted her abilities to the next level and DI was born... an intense process of movement, fitness and improved performance for aerobic enthusiasts, gymnasts, dancers and cheerleaders. As a captain, choreographer and veteran cheerleader for the NBA Atlanta Hawks, fitness has provided the fuel for her quest to be the very best in the industry. More information >>>

Her growing love for fitness led her to compete where she became a very successful NPC bikini and WBFF competitor from the start. In her first 2017 competition she placed 1st in NPC Bikini Novice Class and 1st place in the NPC Bikini Overall Novice Division (nationally qualified). Next she took 1st place in the NPC Bikini Open Class and was again the 1st place winner in the NPC Bikini Overall Open Division (nationally qualified again). This journey led her to the WBFF, where in her first competition she received her pro status. As a dancer, choreographer, and instructor, her contagious spirit, courage and hard work coupled with her versatility for performing has made her a sought-after talent with a passionate spirit and impressive history of creating art that inspires.

WHAT'S IN A CAMP?

Our instructors are here to motivate and provide a variety of performance ready choreography through high-energy, fun and fresh workshop sessions. Instructors creativity, skill and experience will offer one of the most memorable comprehensive dance and cheer experiences imaginable!

Every professional athlete has a trainer and now you do too! So what is our formula for success?

Industry Seminar / Q&A Session


We created this part of the Camp with your best interests in mind. Our instructors are dedicated to your success by providing a full day of master instruction followed by words of wisdom by some of the best in the industry. Our goal is to offer the most well rounded experience possible.

We compliment the Camp with a wide range of helpful tips such as dance and cheer industry insight to aesthetic and nutrition guidance. Our instructors are energetic, down-to-earth and supportive in every way, so ask away and we will be there for you!


Special Skills Workshop


Sensual hip rotation, alluring shoulder shakes and fancy footwork are all the sexy movements that every female dancer should possess. That is exactly why we developed the Get Sexy! Dance Workshop (Hip-Hop Latin Style). Quick-paced rhythms and sensual movements make the combination of Hip-Hop and Latin music the perfect combination to help transform you to a sexier dancer and performer.

Across the globe you can see professional sports’ sidelines and center courts filled with choreography that add acrobats for a more powerful, dynamic performance. We developed the Get Acrobatic! Hip-Hop Dance Workshop to introduce our attendees to acrobats incorporated into a hip-hop choreography. You want to be a more powerful performer and separate your skill set from the rest, this workshop can provide a few tools to do so.


Limited Number of Participants at Each Camp


We have limited the maximum attendance for each camp to 50 participants. Unlike some the cheer camps offered in the USA, we want each attendee to receive personal attention throughout the mini-camp. Our goal is for each participant to get noticed to ensure no student gets left behind. More importantly, we want participants to be able to engage with our instructors and feel free to ask questions at anytime.
