Members of the Proctor Academy Dance Team became stars of their own Disney show on March 12 when they entertained resort guests at Waterside Stage at Downtown Disney. The group traveled over 1,300 miles from Andover to the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida to take part in the Disney Performing Arts Program.

The dance ensemble, under the direction of Kyle Tremblay, put on a stunning show that entertained guests. This was the group’s first visit to the resort with the Disney Performing Arts Program.

In addition to their performance, the group participated in the Disney Performing Arts “Disney Dancin’” and “Dance Technique: Jazz” workshops. Students learned techniques to help maximize their rehearsal time, a Disney production number, found out the tricks of the trade that make for show-stopping performances and deliver a focused performance from a professional Disney dancer.

Vocal, instrumental, and dance ensembles from all around the world apply to perform each year as a part of Disney Performing Arts at both the Disneyland Resort and the Walt Disney World Resort. Once selected, they are given the opportunity to perform at the resort for an international audience of theme park guests. Millions of performers have graced the stages of the Disney Parks in the more than 25-year history of the program.
