About dance competitions in Montgomery

Montgomery is a workable dance-competition city that pairs affordable convention hotels with a genuinely significant historical identity as a cradle of the civil rights movement. Events run downtown and in the nearby suburb of Prattville, at venues like the Montgomery Performing Arts Centre, the Renaissance Montgomery Hotel & Spa, and the Marriott in Prattville, so families can usually keep lodging and the venue close together and walk to the riverfront in between.

The things to do split neatly between meaningful history and easy family fun: the Rosa Parks Museum and the Legacy Museum sit near a lively downtown Riverwalk, while the Montgomery Zoo, a planetarium, and minor-league Biscuits baseball keep younger kids happy. Season here runs in January, February, April, and September, so expect cool, comfortable winter days and a warm-to-hot early fall, with a shady museum or the domed planetarium as a reliable indoor break.

Competitions are held downtown at the Montgomery Performing Arts Centre and the Renaissance Montgomery Hotel & Spa, plus the Marriott Montgomery Prattville Hotel & Conference Center in nearby Prattville; fly into Montgomery Regional Airport (MGM), with Atlanta and Birmingham as larger alternatives within a couple hours' drive.
