While the weekend is designed to give participants the opportunity to perform and take master dance classes from professionals across the country, Project Dance also strives to inspire dancers as artists and individuals. Some of the activities over the weekend focus on the intersection of faith and art. While these inspirational events are optional, we enjoy celebrating those deeply held beliefs that art is a gift to be enjoyed and pursued.
Project Dance is not a convention or competition but rather a life-changing experience for dancers who desire to PERFORM WITH INTEGRITY TO INSPIRE. Our goal is to equip and encourage dancers as they seek their calling in the world of dance as well as offer them a true inside look at life as a professional dancer. We would love to have you there as a part of the event!
What to Expect
Open Air Performance
The centerpiece of every Project Dance event is our Open Air Dance Concert when we take dance out of the studios and theaters and onto the streets. Every style is welcome and what unites dancers who gather for Project Dance is the desire to dance with integrity to inspire. Dance has a way of reaching our innermost being and the pieces presented often reflect that understanding.
