The Industry Dance Awards (IDA) has always been a cornerstone event in the dance community, celebrating the remarkable talents and achievements within our vibrant industry. This year, we’re excited to announce a significant enhancement to our annual gathering – the division of the IDA into two distinct, purpose-driven events. This strategic split not only amplifies the experience for all attendees but also allows us to tailor each event to better serve our community and mission.
Industry Dance Awards
- Date: October 8, 2024
- Venue: Avalon Theater, Hollywood, CA
- Address: 1735 Vine St, Los Angeles, CA 90028
The first of our two-part event series is the Industry Dance Awards at the historic Avalon Theater. This evening is dedicated to recognizing and celebrating the exceptional talent from dance studios nationwide. As the competitive heart of the IDA, this event focuses on awarding artistic and technical excellence in various dance genres. Attendees can expect a night filled with inspiring performances, the crowning of this year’s top dancers, and the presentation of awards in categories like Best Jazz, Hip Hop, and Lyrical Performances.
Gala of Stars
- Date: October 9, 2024
- Venue: Beverly Hilton, Beverly Hills, CA
- Address: 9876 Wilshire Blvd, Beverly Hills, CA 90210
Following the awards at the Avalon, we shift our focus to the Gala of Stars at the luxurious Beverly Hilton. This gala is an elegant fundraising event that broadens our reach beyond the competitive dance floor to recognize contributions to dance in television, film, and beyond. The evening serves as a critical fundraiser for our philanthropic efforts, including Dancers Against Cancer, enhancing our ability to support those in the dance community facing health challenges. The Gala of Stars is not just a celebration but a pivotal effort in driving forward our mission to support, inspire, and heal through the power of dance.
Tickets and Participation
Tickets for both events will be available soon, offering everyone a chance to be part of these extraordinary nights. For those interested in purchasing tables or needing additional information about ticketing, please contact Cierra Chavez, our Lead Administrator, at cierra@industrydanceawards.com.
By hosting two distinct events, the Industry Dance Awards can more effectively celebrate the wide spectrum of talent within the dance community while raising crucial funds to support our dancers. Each event has been designed to showcase and honor different aspects of dance and community engagement, ensuring that every participant and attendee experiences the magic and impact of dance in its full glory.
Stay tuned for more updates on how you can be part of these unforgettable nights – where the dance community comes together not just to compete, but to support each other in every step and move.
