About dance competitions in Boca Raton

Boca Raton is an upscale stretch of the South Florida coast between Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale, which makes it an appealing dance-competition destination with beaches, resorts, and easy airport access. Events here run out of Florida Atlantic University's Carole and Barry Kaye Auditorium and area high schools, with some dates held a bit north at the Palm Beach Convention Center in West Palm Beach, so families choose lodging based on their assigned venue.

Between sessions the payoff is South Florida sunshine: a sea-turtle nature center, a science playground, Mediterranean-style shopping at Mizner Park, and reef-lined beaches. The season sits in February and March, right in peak snowbird months, when the weather is typically dry and warm in the 70s to low 80s, ideal for turning a competition weekend into a real beach getaway.

Competitions are commonly held at FAU's Carole and Barry Kaye Auditorium and area high schools, with some events at the Palm Beach Convention Center in West Palm Beach; fly into Palm Beach International (PBI) or Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood (FLL), each about 25 miles away.
