"I'd Rather Be Dancing!" Season 19 is coming July 14th - 16th, 2023!
Our performance pieces are beautifully staged and choreographed for all dance levels. This is NOT a recital!
This is a dance showcase (and an experience of a lifetime!) with concert grade lighting and an audience of up to 160 people each night!
The line-up of participating choreographers for the Summer Show will be announced on Friday April 14th with registration opening at our IRBD Summer Kickoff Party on Friday April 21st!
No audition required however previous attendance in the corresponding class is STRONGLY suggested prior to registration. One piece per person! Registration will close once a piece hits its capacity or Sunday April 30th, whichever happens first. Once the line-up is live, it will be listed here.
