VENT (short for Volunteer Entertainment), a dance group established in the San Fernando Valley, has watched the dance culture evolve, inspire, and reach out to the community with no strings attached. VENT has decided to create an unforgettable event where dancers get to sit back and relax for a change. For the first time EVER, the Dance Awards Show pays tribute to all the wonderful dance teams and individuals who spread such a positive and inspirational vibe within the dance community. It is time to appreciate the thousands of talent that exists in our community and recognize those who have contributed and impacted it in so many ways.
Complete with a red carpet entrance, a bangin' after party, amazing performances, and the announcement of the WINNER for each category, Volunteer Entertainment brings to you the only show that honors all the hard work and commitment that every dancer possesses.
YOU choose the nominees. HHDA narrows it down to the top 4. YOU vote. Then, come see who the community has crowned the winner!
