Dancers gather with a common vision: to bring hope and healing through the universal language of dance. In 2024 Project Dance will present concerts in West Palm Beach, Houston, New York City, Costa Rica, Kona and Panama City Beach.

FAQs

What does the registration include?

Upon registration, you will receive an email notification. Specific details for each event will be sent to participants via email. Registration does NOT include hotels, travel, or food.

How do I submit my dance piece(s) for review?

After registration, all directors and soloists will be sent an email with instructions to submit your pieces. Dancers that are part of a group/studio/company will not need to submit anything.

What is your cancellation policy?

If a participant is unable to attend Project Dance after registering, for any reason, ½ of the registration fee will be returned to that participant following the date of the said event.

Is there an age limit?

There is no age limit; however, the general focus of our event is for the dancer seeking to pursue a dance career. We recognize that some groups and companies have varied ages. We ask that young dancers be chaperoned appropriately.

Can chaperones/family members come to all the events?

As a registered participant, you will be notified of the policy in place for the city you are attending. When space allows, we do open the doors to those who have traveled with a dancer. If a family member or chaperone wants to ensure that they are able to attend all events, they are welcome to register for the entire event as we cannot guarantee space for them other than viewing the free outdoor dance concert.

Is there a pro-rated fee if I can only attend part of the event?

There are no pro-rated fees available for Project Dance events. Participants unable to attend portions of the event are required to fully register.

What are the deadlines to register?

All registration deadlines will be announced on our website's individual city pages: www.projectdance.com We offer an early bird rate and a standard rate.
