It is the first time the 17th-annual event has featured a dance showcase and competition.
Musicfest Awards Gala Producer Monty Seward hopes the addition will help to draw a younger crowd to the internationally recognized event in Temecula. It also will help to create non-stop entertainment for attendees on both days.
“This is a chance to give your crew the exposure, experience and prizes that it deserves while having a great night with friends and family at an internationally acclaimed event,” Seward states in dance showcase materials.
