The committee has chosen to separate the Festival and the Showcase to give the choreographers and performers who were selected for the Showcase a more formal experience, and to provide more opportunities at the Festival itself in regards to master classes and professional company performances. The traditional Festival full of workshops, master classes, and new experiences has been moved to the Fall semester to motivate and inspire students for their year of High School dance.

 

This upcoming year's 2023 Festival will be held at Evanston Township High School on Saturday, October 14 2023,

with a special performance by Giordano Dance Chicago
