Note: All Dancers age 10+ have TWO included performances in their package. 1. Parade Performance, 2. Showcase Performance. The SHOWCASE is American Dance Academy's own choreography featured on a Disney Parks stage! The guaranteed performance is included in all Dancer Packages, regardless of age level. All studios coming to this event will have their choreography featured. The PRODUCTION ROUTINE is the Add-On Performance. This is the OPENING or CLOSING number of the entire Showcase Night (therefore additional stage time). For anyone that decides to add the Production Routine to their package, they are required to attend the rehearsal on Friday. The SHOWCASE, again, is included in all Dancer Packages. If someone chooses NOT to participate in your studio's routine at the Showcase, neither their pricing nor their packages will change. CANCELLATION POLICY:
