Yes! You can register for and attend the SHINE 20th Anniversary workshops and/or gala night with or without your studio. You do not need to attend a 2025 Shine Dance Festival event. Everyone is welcome.

We will be offering one contemporary class, one hip-hop class as well as a session focused on dancer wellness at each level.

At Shine, we know that teachers can have an enormous influence on your children. That is why we select every member of our team based on integrity, professionalism, and their commitment to creating healthy dance experiences for youth. Our faculty are leaders in the dance industry who are passionate bout dance education for youth of all ages and abilities.

We always have one Shine Crew member assisting our faculty and require our staff to complete a vulnerable sector check.

We warmly welcome any dancer who can participate independently in a large group class setting and is open to new learning experiences.

NOVICE: Novice dancers can execute an assortment of foundational dance movements including a single pirouette and a variety of basic leaps and jumps.

COMPETITIVE: COMPETITIVE: Competitive dancers can execute a wide variety of intermediate to advanced dance movements including a solid double pirouette, russians/jete to second, and can learn choreography at a moderate pace.

If you would like to participate in DANCER classes you must register as a DANCER. TEACHERS will be permitted to participate in TEACHER classes and to observe DANCER classes.

We are committed to providing a nurturing learning environment free of distractions for youth. Parents are not permitted to observe classes, but registered teachers will be. Our trained Shine assistants will be available in each class to provide dancer support and to open the door to offer parents a sneak peek for the last few minutes of each class.
