Two fans, Rachel and Lauren, along with forty friends, enjoyed a spectacular dance night in Toronto when Alyson Stoner appeared to promote CAMP ROCK 2: THE FINAL JAM FREESTYLE JAM. The event, staged at the Best Western Roehampton Hotel & Suites, brought the movie’s choreography to life as Stoner led attendees through the steps from the film. The celebration extended beyond the dance floor with a prize presentation where the winners received five hundred dollars in cash and one hundred dollars in Best Western travel cards. A spokesperson from Best Western Roehampton and the event host graciously handed over the prizes, adding a personal touch to the night. The gathered crowd had reportedly watched the movie, practiced the moves, and eagerly awaited the chance to meet their favorite performer, Alyson Stoner.
In addition to the party, the evening served as a high-energy promo for CAMP ROCK 2: THE FINAL JAM while underscoring the excitement around the freestyle jam concept. The event helped fans see how the film’s routines translate into real-world dance, and it gave the participants a memorable opportunity to share the moment with a star.
In a pre-event discussion, Stoner spoke about her role as Caitlyn in CAMP ROCK 2: THE FINAL JAM. Caitlyn is portrayed as eccentric and fiercely loyal, a friend to Mitchie who learns to work with others to save the camp from closure. Stoner noted Caitlyn’s growth from prioritizing personal spotlight to embracing teamwork and a larger mission. She explained that Caitlyn’s passions are meant to serve the greater good, marking a maturation in the character. She added that Caitlyn can be seen as a more intense reflection of herself, with similar love for music and a belief in using art to inspire others.
When asked about her favorite dance number in the movie, Stoner highlighted the song Can’t Back Down as the film’s call to action. The choreography for that sequence was especially demanding, but she relished the challenge and the opportunity to push her limits. On memorable moments from filming, she recalled the camaraderie of reuniting with friends and enduring three weeks of night shoots in cold weather, dressed for summer. She described those nights as bonkers but bonding, noting that the shared struggle made their connections stronger.
If she had to choose a single skill for a future career, Stoner said it would be impossible, because she aims to make the biggest possible impact on society and her generation. Whether through acting, singing, or dancing, she wants the work to move people and spark change, with acting currently at the forefront while dancing and singing remain closely linked in her career.
Friendship also matters deeply to Stoner. She believes the people around her shape the person she becomes and values being surrounded by peers who work hard and stay passionate about their craft. In her spare time, she and friends write music and stay active, whether playing basketball or practicing dance together, because the shared love of their art keeps them connected.
A special dance-along edition of CAMP ROCK 2: THE FINAL JAM FREESTYLE JAM was announced for Canada, premiering on New Year’s Eve. The format will guide viewers through step-by-step moves from the movie, featuring a look at some of the film’s dancers and industry guests freestyling. The piece will offer audiences a sense of the overall choreography and a comparison to the first film’s style, promising entertainment and education in equal measure.
Looking ahead, Stoner shared that she currently teaches dance in Los Angeles every Friday for kids aged 6 to 17, running with a friend for a decade. She has discussed opening a center offering after-school programs that blend dance, music, and other creative classes, including potential career days to help kids explore their options. She hinted at future projects, including two animated films, The Little Engine That Could, in which she voices the titular character, and Phineas and Ferb’s animated movie. She also mentioned two animated series in development, Phineas and Ferb and Winks, along with fresh music that should be out soon.
Fans were reminded to catch CAMP ROCK 2: THE FINAL JAM FREESTYLE JAM when it airs on television on New Year’s Eve, a moment many hoped would become a yearly tradition for young performers and fans alike.
