Dear Dance Exhibitor or Commercial Vendor,

The 2010 National High School Dance Festival will convene in Miami, Florida, at the New World School of the Arts from March 18-21, 2010. We expect over 1400 high school students, teachers and dance professionals from across the United States and abroad to attend this exciting four days of classes, workshops and performances.

This Festival is an excellent opportunity to reach a select audience from the leading high school dance programs nationwide. The participants will be students interested in pursuing dance performance and teaching careers, and high school teachers and administrators looking for information to share with their students and colleagues back home. A number of the festival participants are currently or will be involved in developing new dance programs and school facilities. They are potential buyers of performing arts related equipment, supplies, and services.

The development of performing arts programs in secondary schools is a powerful new trend in education in the United States. The 2010 National High School Dance Festival, now in its 20th year, offers you a variety of cost effective ways to reach this target audience through:

1. Exhibit space - for display and to meet festival participants
2. A free listing in the Festival Program for paid exhibitors
3. A list of festival participants
4. Optional low cost advertising in the conference program

Please review the enclosed guidelines and prices, and note the appropriate deadlines. Return the required forms and payments to the address listed below. If you have any general questions, please feel free to contact either Daniel or Kathryn. We look forward to seeing you at the Festival.
