To help ensure the concept, we have brought in dance choreographer Jeremy Green of Dance 411 to serve as Creative Director for the stage show. We're super excited because we're not just marketing this to a small, niche demographic. Our target audience is Teens and Young Adults, but this tour will appeal to all different ages, races and income levels. It's really universal and people can expect to be entertained and participate in what we call 'A Fun Filled, DANCING good time.'"
