Nothing does a city good like hosting a flavorful array of dance shows, bringing in instructional professionals and stars of lyrical movement. Coming together in one highly concentrated soup of expression, DancerPalooza is a chance for the public to see the work of choreographers and dancers that the entire industry is buzzing about.<\/p>\n

DancerPalooza, dubbed the Coachella for the dance world, is coming to the Long Beach Convention Center for a week-long event from July 22 through July 27. The six-day festival is geared toward those who love dance but don\u2019t dance, or those who do dance and want to take multiple classes from leading professionals in the field. \u201cAmerica\u2019s Ultimate Dance Festival\u201d offers several opportunities for anyone even slightly moved by a decent beat.<\/p>\n

\"StillBeat Street<\/strong><\/p>\n

Offered July 25 through July 27, Beat Street is a free public expo hall with dance performances, popular dance industry vendors and a meet and greet with professional dance stars.<\/p>\n

Crash Courses<\/strong><\/p>\n

Instead of committing to a full intensive program (see below), crash courses are offered for three days (July 25-27) and allow students to choose from over 36 types of classes.<\/p>\n

Intensives<\/strong><\/p>\n

These week-long courses concentrating on a variety of styles from contemporary dance to jazz funk and Broadway, culminate in a performance or video presentation of the week\u2019s work. The intensive team leaders are a collection of some of the most known dancers working today that provide all students with professional level training. Styles offered include The Collective, Pool Party, Slide, KaMotion, Bobby\u2019s Beat Camp and Marquee.<\/p>\n

Performances<\/strong><\/p>\n

For spectators wanting to enjoy a performance or two, five different dance productions are open to the public and are held nightly at the Center Theater.<\/p>\n
