Welcome to Big Dance 2023.

Look to the skies!

Big Dance 2023 is soaring to you from above the clouds.

You are invited to a night of dancing and performances in the stratosphere. We encourage you to dress in theme! Costume ideas include: bird, butterfly, pilot, cloud, constellation, flight attendant, Superman, astronaut, your favorite satellite, rainbow, Mary Poppins, angel, dragon, fairy, griffin, Dracula, and anything that takes to the sky.

Please note that street shoes are not allowed in the dance studio. Dance shoes, socks, or bare feet are all acceptable. Masks are strongly recommended. We also look forward to recognizing the most creative costumes at the costume contest. Quite literally, the sky's the limit!
