REGISTRATION


  Program Acceptance
The Florida Dance Festival is an inclusive program open to all. No auditions are required for acceptance. The curriculum is geared to professionals and serious students age 12 and older with a minimum of three to four years of progressive training. Advance registration is open to participants enrolling for a full one or two-week session. Participants taking less than one full week session schedule may register on site for individual classes.
 
  A Note for Parents
While the Festival accepts serious students as young as 12 years of age, parents should be aware that the Florida Dance Festival is not a summer camp and does not provide counselors or supervision for students outside the classroom or studio. Students under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult or attend as a member of a group with an adult supervisor who is responsible for the group at all times.
