An amazing experience. We had a big hiccup at the last minute and the dance the magic staff didn't even blink. It was fixed and we moved on with the trip. What an amazing experience for our studio and dancers. Would 100% work with dance the magic again.

Thank you for the opportunity to have Moon Dance Studio from Puerto Rico participate in such a wonderful event. It was truly an unforgettable experience, and we are honored to have represented our island through dance. We are deeply grateful for your trust, hospitality, and the memories that will stay with us forever.
Dance the Magic creates memories that last a lifetime. The event is first class and dancers get a professionally immersive experience from learning choreography to a behind the scenes look at artists at work. While the parade is the highlight of the event, meeting people from all over the world, sharing a meal with them, exchanging souvenirs and having park hours just for the participants is priceless. The photos and videos are also a great keepsake. The staff treats everyone like family, with great communication and follow up, they leave no stone left unturned. Having performed in several different parades, they experience is always different and always professional. I highly recommend it for all my dancers as we will continue to Dance the Magic for many seasons to come.

Our studio absolutely loves Dance The Magic. Everything they do is exceptional. As a studio owner one of my favorite parts about DTM is their customer service. Because I know they take care of me , I am able to take care of my families and I know when my families are in their hands they are being taken care of. One of my older dancers mentioned to me that she was pleasantly surprised that every team member she met was so friendly and with a smile on their face. This is why we come back!
