Top-scoring groups from each age division are selected to dance off at the Closing Night Gala. Winners announced live. Limit of one studio per age group in the dance-off. Senior Division winner: $2,500.
Brought to you by Hollywood Dance Jamz, Spotlight Battle is exactly what it sounds like — head-to-head, judged in real time, with the crowd setting the energy. This is the part of the week that can't be rehearsed.
Your next chapter starts here. College dance teams, university programs, elite conservatories, and professional companies meet dancers and offer real opportunities. New for 2026: casting workshops with Disney Live Entertainment and Cirque du Soleil.
