FAQ

Why choose NEXT GEN?

When it comes to conventions, NEXT GEN is here to break the mold and bring something truly unique! Here are some reasons why you won't want to miss our second season...

VENUES

All of our events are held at professional dance studios, providing a comfortable and safe environment for dancers to learn and grow. We also carefully choose venues with parent lounges and food options on site so parents can relax and watch their dancers take class.

CLASS SIZES

We keep our class sizes small to ensure every dancer receives focused attention and guidance. This means more one-on- one interactions, allowing you to learn, grow, and shine in a nurturing environment.

NEXT GEN FAMILY

NEXT GEN is a family- run event with a team that genuinely cares. Our staff is encouraged to get to know each dancer individually, making sure every participant feels valued, supported, and seen.

YOUNG TALENT

We believe in the power of young people! Our convention is all about elevating the next generation of dancers, from our ambassadors to the instructors you'll learn from, you'll get direct access to emerging stars who are making waves in the industry.

Will you be selling observer passes?

We are anticipating a full event, meaning there will not be extra space in the studios for parent observers. Parents of younger dancers who wish to stick around during the event may have a seat in the lobby, from which you will have a clear view of the studios. We just ask that you avoid crowding around the lobby windows.
