We are excited and honored to announce that Apologia Dance & Martial Arts has been invited to attend the 2026 Earthshakers: The Competition in Orlando, Florida, taking place March 27-29, 2026! This is an incredible opportunity for our students to showcase their hard work, passion, and dedication on a national stage.
Earthshakers is a multi-level dance performance competition that serves dancers of all ages, known for its strong focus on:
- Technique
- Choreography
- Presentation
- Artistic appeal
What makes Earthshakers special is its integrity, positive atmosphere, interactive judge sessions, and family-friendly environment. It is designed not only to reward talent but to inspire growth, confidence, and encouragement in young performers.
For many of our students, this will be their first time traveling for a major competition and performing outside our local area. The experience will be unforgettable and life-changing, helping them build discipline, teamwork, confidence, and a deeper love for the arts.
The Challenge We Face
The cost of travel and competition can be overwhelming for families. This fundraiser will help ensure that every student who qualifies has the opportunity to attend, regardless of financial barriers.
Your contributions will cover:
- Competition entry fees
- Travel expenses
- Lodging
- Transportation
- Costumes and performance needs
Every donation, no matter the size, makes a meaningful difference. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing our fundraiser to help spread the word.
