Somewhere in America, an army of pre-teen competitive dancers plots to take over the world. And if their new routine is good enough, they’ll claw their way to the top at Nationals in Tampa Bay. A play about ambition, growing up, and how to find our souls in the heat of it all.
DANCE NATION is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com
