Teen Dance Star is Santa Barbara County’s unique dance experience, which brings our community’s best teen dancers together on the Lobero Stage to showcase their talents, compete for a chance to win a $1,000 cash prize, and most importantly to raise money for dance scholarships. This amazing educational opportunity culminates in a Showcase Finale that features a high energy group dance number, celebrity judges from So You Think You Can Dance and the concert dance world, a red carpet, and incredible talent and energy.

Teen Dance Star’s inaugural year was a huge success! The Showcase Finale sold out in just four days and we raised $3,000 for youth dance scholarships, which were awarded to dancers at each of the 2016 Finalists’ studios through the Arts Mentorship Program.

In proud partnership with Arts Mentorship Program
