  • Monsters Dance is open to all ages, kid through adult! (recommended 6 years and older)

  • We offer the following as a guide only, placing more emphasis on years of experience vs. age. Use your best judgment and if you need to change levels, you may do so prior to the third class on the first day of the event, space permitting. (Additional fees may apply if switching from Junior to Intermediate/Advanced.)

    • Junior Level: Recommended for beginner dancers, ages 6-10. Includes a full weekend of classes (only 1 fewer class than Int/Adv levels). Please note: In some cities the Junior and Intermediate levels will be combined due to COVID-19 restrictions.

    • Intermediate Level: Ages 11-14 - Recommended for dancers with 3+ years of experience.

    • Advanced Level: Ages 15 & up - Recommended for dancers with 6+ years of experience and high level of training.

    • Industry Upgrade: Includes full weekend of classes plus a 2-hour Friday evening Industry session. Each session will be focused on a specific topic and provides dancers training in navigating within the dance industry (ie. how to audition, performing with an artist, working with props, etc). Must be 16 or older.

  • We make putting groups together simple for you and your company, and will reward you for doing so!

    For every 11 dancers registered, we will discount your registration with a $290 savings (i.e. 11 dancers = $290 discount, 22 dancers = $580 discount, etc.). Savings are deducted from your group balance when checking out through your online account. Must be paid in full 30 days prior to event to receive group discount, no extensions or exceptions.

  • Yes you can! Log back into your online account (starting with 2018-19 tour dates) to add more dancers to your group, space permitting. Additional dancers may not be added if desired level is sold out.

Observer wristbands are valid all weekend in any level*.*Excludes Friday night Industry Level bonus classes and audition classes.

  • Just another class! The audition offered at Monsters is designed like any of the other classes you'll experience throughout the weekend - dancers will learn some choreography and perform it in small groups for our Faculty Choreographers. The only difference is dancers wear a number for the chance to be selected for awards. This class will help you grow as a dancer by providing you an authentic audition process to test your potential in a real-life setting. You also have a chance to be selected a variety of scholarships, including our Monsters Show Nominations!

  • Each city features 6-8 of the world’s top choreographers. The lineup is typically available one week prior to each city, but the Faculty is always subject to change.
