Prestige Productions Inc. Announces Destination DANCE! Young Leaders Camp

DALLAS, AUSTIN, Texas and HOUSTON, April 3, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- Texas-based PrestigeDANCE (http://PrestigeDANCE.net) announces the official launch of Destination DANCE! Young Leaders Camp, a camp that will focus on training dancers not only to refine their dancing skills, but to become well-rounded, self-confident Leaders in life, as well as in dance.

"We are a dance camp and competition company that prides itself on producing high quality, over-the-top events. To that end, we have engaged Ashlee Nino and Hok Konishi, two of FOX TV's 'So You Think You Can Dance' Finalists to join us for our incredible summer camp as our Celebrity Master Class Instructors," said Lisa Parker, Managing Director of Prestige Productions, Inc. "We also have Ms. Ann Fry, a renowned Leadership Trainer that works with Executives/Management of Fortune 500 companies all over the U.S., devising a Leadership Program specifically for the dance and drill team members who will be joining us."

"The need for an extraordinary dance and leadership experience has never been in more demand by dance studios and drill teams throughout Texas," said Parker. "Directors and parents want their dancers and children to be exposed to high-caliber events such as this. We are excited to be able to bring to the masses a phenomenal, once-in-a-lifetime event that will not soon be forgotten."

The caliber of young dance talent coming out of Texas has dramatically increased over the last few years. High Schools and Middle Schools who have dance or drill teams have been raising the bar when it comes to their dance programs and their students' abilities. We offer these dancers and competition/show teams the opportunity to expand their dance training outside of their school or studio. We give them the ability to train under professional dancers from all over the U.S. that have different styles and methodologies to offer. We also bring to the table the Leadership component that consequently helps to make dancers more self-confident, well-rounded and prepared to take on the inevitable life challenges that may come their way.

The openings of local dance studios and the development of public school dance/drill teams has been on the rise due in part to the success of television programs like FOX's "So You Think You Can Dance", ABC's "Dancing with the Stars", etc. "As a result, the growth and success of dance programs at all levels inspired us to create PrestigeDANCE as an outlet for the creative expression of the state's best young dancers," said Parker.

PrestigeDANCE invites Intermediate, Junior and High School age dance teams including public and private school and independent dance, drill teams, studio teams and dance/drill officers, to come participate in their 2008 Destination DANCE! Young Leaders Camp being held on June 26-29th in Dallas, Texas

Prestige Productions Inc. Launches 'PrestigeDANCE,' Announces 2008 Dance Competitions and Leadership Camp Dates

AUSTIN, Texas, DALLAS and HOUSTON, Sept. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Texas-based Prestige Productions Inc. recently announced the launch of PrestigeDANCE (http://PrestigeDANCE.net), a competition and camp promotions company focused exclusively on hosting events showcasing excellence in dance.

"The need for high-quality dance competitions and camps in Texas has never been greater," said Julie Rachui, Executive Director and Founder of Prestige Productions Inc. "Our mission is to set a new standard of excellence for dance competitions, leadership training and technique camps by producing events that provide dancers, directors and participants an 'over-the-top' experience."

The caliber of young dance talent coming out of Texas has dramatically increased in the last few years. Universities, High Schools and Middle Schools who have dance or drill teams have been raising the bar when it comes to their dance programs and their students' abilities. No longer are these teams only seen during football games or at brief year-end recitals. Student dancers participate in numerous other events such as technique classes, dance, officer or leadership camps, clinics, special performances and competitions during the year. Many of these teams travel to Los Angeles or New York to train with noted choreographers or arrange for a higher caliber of instructor to come teach them. Most teams end their season with "Spring Shows" or "Recitals" which showcase their talents to sold-out venues.

Additionally, the opening of local dance studios, dance academies and studio and independent dance competition companies has been on the rise due in part to the success of television programs like FOX's "So You Think You Can Dance," ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" and MTV's "Dancelife."

"The growth and success of dance programs at all levels in Texas inspired us to create PrestigeDANCE as an outlet for the creative
expression of the state's best young dancers," said Rachui. "We wanted to create a competitive environment where dancers are properly recognized for their talents and awarded trophies, scholarships and prizes worthy of their efforts."

PrestigeDANCE events are adjudicated by credentialed judges and feature special exhibition performances and surprise guest appearances. Awards include "Texas-sized" trophies, scholarships and cash prizes. Camps feature professional Master Class Dance Instructors from all over the US, as well as motivational speakers and leadership trainers. All events feature professional sound, lighting, video and photography.

PrestigeDANCE invites dance teams of all ages including public and private school dance, drill teams, dance studio teams and cheer studio teams as well as independent dancers and teams to come participate in their 2008 "Over-The-Top" events including:

-- Texas Area Championship - February 2 (Austin)
