Regional Dance America National Festival 2019

The exciting process begins each spring when nationally recognized adjudicators tour the regions to select works by member companies and arrange festival programs. The adjudicators provide constructive feedback to member companies to elevate their accomplishments. The season culminates at the festivals, where participants attend master classes, seminars, and college roundtables during the day, as well as perform each evening. Dancers from member companies are seen by college and professional training program recruiters and have the opportunity to audition for awards and scholarships. Member company directors network with well-known dance educators and choreographers. For over 60 years, RDA has nurtured and provided opportunities for emerging and seasoned choreographers. RDA highlights budding new talent during Emerging Choreographer Showcases, and it awards choreographers who present the most outstanding works at the festivals. Choreographers and dancers alike can receive scholarships to RDAs annual National Choreography Intensive. More Info below.
