THEME
Our 5th annual LDC SHOWCASE theme for 2023 is "ICONS!" Routines may highlight artists, music, movies, shows, events, movements, teams, places, or anything that pertains to something ICONIC (pre-k, elementary, middle, high school, university, college)! For a list of routine ideas and guidance, click the link below. Themes that each group chooses will be on a first come first serve basis. We will update our page regularly to show which themes are no longer available. Please remember this is a FAMILY FRIENDLY event and that your choreography and/or routine is able to be viewed by all audiences. Curse words/profanity in music will not be accepted. At this time, we are requesting that groups avoid the use of any President (past and present), Michael Jackson, and Kanye West, thank you.
​
*Groups are kindly asked to submit a video of their routine by February 1st to be reviewed.*

More guidelines are listed below! We look forward to seeing what everyone comes up with this year!!!!
