Convention — Hollywood Vibe

Every Hollywood Vibe weekend is built around one goal: giving your dancers the best instruction from people working in the industry today. Class sizes are kept intentionally small so every dancer gets real attention.

Classes run Friday through Sunday across Jazz, Tap, Hip Hop, Lyrical, Contemporary, Musical Theater, and Ballet. Competition is part of the weekend. The faculty showcase and scholarship presentation close out Sunday.

Mini Age, Full Weekend

Mini-age dancers who wish to attend the full weekend may dance in the Mini or Junior room and audition for Mini scholarships. Billed at the Junior rate.

Dancers may be placed in a higher level based on ability with teacher approval — contact us before the event so we can confirm capacity. Dancers may never attend or audition in a lower workshop level. Scholarship auditions must be in the appropriate age division; dancers may audition up but never down.

Minis may be combined into the Junior level if city attendance does not support a separate Mini class.
Levels may be combined due to hotel space and attendance.
Dancers may dance in a higher age division without changing their wristband (except Minis). Wristbands stay age-based for scholarship purposes — approval required before the event.
