The Opening Number
The Opening Number provides dancers with an incredible opportunity to showcase their hard work and love of dance. While dancing alongside other All-Star dancers from across the country, dancers will be working with one of the dance industry’s top choreographers. Within 3 nights of rehearsals these dancers learn what its like to work as a professional dancer and create a performance unlike anything they have ever been a part of. Dancers come away with friendships and experiences that last a lifetime.
Here are the dancers who received honors of being named an All-Star during the 2024 season. Coming Soon!
