On November 5th at the Nashville Fairgrounds, our Fall 2026 Cohort marks a monumental moment for our program: the 2,000th Academy graduate will dance across that stage while our community cheers them on!

Come celebrate this moment with your neighbors at this FREE, family-friendly event.

Doors will open to the public at 5:00 PM – perfect time to grab photos, catch up with friends, and find your seat.

Our graduation ceremony will start promptly at 6:00 PM, with the next generation of graduates dancing across our stage to your cheers. There will be a Compassionate Pitch Contest, a Swag Surf session, photo ops, a DJ, and so much more fun!
