🎭 Theme: The Magic of Disney
Performance Date: Sunday, October 5, 2025
It’s time to light up the stage once again! ✨ Fall Showcase 2025 registration is officially open! This week is exclusively for our Comp Club members, and next week we welcome all Bronze-level students and above to reserve their spot in this unforgettable production.
This year’s theme? The Magic of Disney—a celebration of imagination, courage, and timeless music. Whether you're channeling a Marvel hero, a Star Wars legend, or a Pixar favorite, this showcase invites you to step into your favorite world and dance your heart out.
💃 What Are My Performance Options?
We offer several exciting ways for you to participate—there’s something for everyone, no matter your dance goals:
Solo Routine: One student and one professional or one amateur couple performing a full-length routine to a pre-selected song. (To complay with NDCA rules and regulations, full length routines are anywhere from 2:00-3:15 minutes)
Duet Routine: One amateur dancing with two professionals—a striking, dynamic showpiece that incorporate more theatrics and tricks. These are called spectaculars. You can even have 3 or 4 professionals making then trios or quartets.
Shadow Routine: One amateur couple dancing alongside a professional couple, mirroring choreography. These are great for amateur couples who are newer to performing or may want a bit of security out on the floor. These are also very dynamic and entertaining as you can do more with more people.
Presentation of Standard: 16 measures of choreography focused on one chosen ballroom or Latin style.
Opening Waltz: Our beloved group waltz tradition, open to all Level 2 students and above.
Rehearsals begin mid-August
Only group lessons are required to participate
A graceful and fun way to open the show as a team
🌟 Why Should You Join Showcase?
Performing in a showcase takes your dancing to a new level. Here's what you gain:
Accelerated Skill Development – Working on a routine sharpens memory, technique, and performance quality. It is also a great way to focus on one or two dances and learn advanced moves in those dances.
Confidence and Joy – There’s nothing like the thrill of dancing on a real stage for a cheering crowd. Yes, you will have some butterflies, but it is absolutely worth it!
Community and Celebration – Your friends, family, and fellow dancers are there to support and celebrate you.
Lasting Memories – This is more than a performance—it’s a milestone in your dance journey. Plus, you get to use this routine for a full year!
🎶 Song Selection: The Magic Is in the Music
We’ve created a curated showcase playlist full of Disney-owned music that spans across beloved franchises—Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, Broadway, and classic animated films.

We ask that dancers select their music from this list whenever possible, as the songs have been pre-approved for dance structure and choreography. That said, if you have a different Disney-owned song in mind, we’re happy to hear your ideas. If the rhythm, tempo, or structure is too difficult to choreograph or perform well, we’ll help you choose a more suitable option.
