Celebration Dance Festival

Celebration Dance Festival Dance Competition · 2026-27 Season Schedule

Celebration Dance Festival operates as a dance convention that combines education and performance experience across three major entertainment destinations: Nashville, Panama City Beach, and Orlando (including Universal Orlando and Walt Disney World venues). Rather than following a traditional scored competition format, the company focuses on providing a comprehensive festival experience that includes workshops, master classes, performance showcases, college fairs, and auditions, including opportunities with prestigious programs like Joffrey Ballet School. The festival emphasizes age-appropriate content and welcomes dancers of all ages and skill levels. The company's faculty consists of talented professional dancers and instructors who lead diverse dance classes and provide educational opportunities beyond technique training. Students participate in Q&A sessions with teaching artists, gaining valuable industry insights and career guidance. The festival experience culminates in a closing showcase that brings together dancers, teachers, and families, and includes a signature Celebration production number. Awards and scholarships are presented to participating dancers. Celebration Dance Festival distinguishes itself through its focus on organization, safety, and family-friendly programming. The festival tuition includes a Celebration Memory Makers video package, and the company partners with Main Street Travel for discounted resort accommodations. Public performances offer free admission, making the arts accessible to local communities at each destination while providing dancers with authentic performance experience before live audiences.
