DANCERS MAKE HUGE STRIDES 2019!
Hundreds of talented pre-professionals traveled to sunny Saint Petersburg, Florida last month in search of, Yes, Recognition and stage experience, but more than that, a place to call home for their final years of training before entering the professional ranks.

In recent years, ADC IBC has made signficant moves to cater towards this specific demographic of dancers. And now students between the ages 14-17 with serious intentions about their future rush to grab a soloist spot in the event once video selections open for new students.

In our 14th Year, talent level was at its highest, spanning all throughout North America and abroad. We congratulate the prize winners, along with the multitude of students offered professional opportunities and scholarships to our Partner Companies.
