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 the Boogie Down Grand Prix in Tampa Bay.

Join us on November 13-23 for The Search Party YVR's Dance Nation! It is a raucous and hilarious play of ambition and ferocity. Follow these young dancers as they fight to find themselves and be heard in a world that wants to pin them against each other. In the midst of turmoil, these characters are confronted with an important question: what does it take to win? And what are they willing to sacrifice to become victorious?

Until September 15, save $10 with our early bird prices to see the 2025-26 Anvil Theatre Presents Series. Get your tickets today: https://anviltheatre.ca/event/dance-nation/

Set to Mendelssohn’s enchanting score—this original production by Bengt Jörgen transports the tale of love, mischief, and magical fairies into the heart of Canada’s northern landscapes. This playful, family-friendly ballet captures the wonder of the wilderness and the timeless joy of Shakespeare’s story for audiences of all ages.
