HYPE Choreographers Showcase - Choreography Submission
HYPE is a professional variety dance show created to showcase some of the best choreographers and dancers in DFW. At HYPE, choreographers get a chance to showcase those pieces that they only dream of. The ones that challenge our creativity, push our dancers and leave our audience speechless. Each show will feature 15-20 choreographers, and all genres are welcome. There will be a different theme for each show that each choreographer/group will need to consider when creating their set. HYPE IS AN 18+ EVENT.
We no longer accept solos and duets. Must have at least 3 dancers in your set.
2026 Showcase Dates

Bold roots. Heavy influence. Endless interpretation. HYPE Dirty South draws inspiration from the sound, energy, and cultural impact of the South — from iconic anthems to the rhythms and textures that have shaped music across genres. While rooted in Southern influence, this showcase is open to all styles of movement and interpretation. Whether you lean into groove, storytelling, musicality, or high-energy performance, this is your space to create something that feels grounded, powerful, and intentional.
SUBMISSION DEADLINE FOR THE MAY SHOWCASE IS JULY 31.
***Please read the submission form thoroughly and answer each question. You do not need to submit a video of what you plan to showcase. A video of your prior work will suffice. Please make sure the video accurately represents your work.***
