WHO can participate?

Any local, regional, state, or national dance organization.

WHAT is it?

A place for dance organizations to put up displays and share materials illustrating how the organization promotes and supports our favorite pastime! Some organizations add “give-away” items such as stickers or pins to promote their area or their organization.

WHY have it?

Dancers, clubs, and dance organizations are always looking for new ideas to promote our activity as well as invite others to visit their area and enjoy a dance.

WHEN does it happen?

The Showcase of Ideas is open for visitors all day on Thursday and Friday from 10:00 am – 10:00 pm, and from 10:00 am –  2:00 pm on Saturday. Organizations can check in and set up their displays on Wednesday afternoon.

WHERE will it be located?

The Showcase of Ideas will be in the Grand Ballroom C at the Baird Center.
