Performance Showcase
Our concert style performance showcase gives dancers the opportunity to perform in an encouraging, non-competitive atmosphere while receiving purposeful critiques from the Festival's teaching artists. Special awards, recognitions and scholarships are presented at each festival. Bring your studio's routines for an engaging and inspirational concert performance.
Patrons are asked to stay seated while dancers are performing and throughout the entire showcase. We provided professional lighting with blackouts between dances. All patrons must be affiliated with a studio or independent dancer attending the festival and are given an armband for admittance.
Auditions required for select locations. Music, costumes, concept, and choreography must be approved to perform at our open venues ie Universal Orlando and Walt Disney World.
