4 Reasons to Visit Nashville with Your Dance Troupe

Nashville is known for its music scene, and that music is a perfect accompaniment for the dance community. We rounded up a lot of must-see places and performances for your next trip to Music City, U.S.A. 

The Country Music Hall of Fame 

The collection, preservation, and education about past country music performers is the mission of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. Step back in history to remember the pioneers of a music genre and those who continue to keep the country music tradition alive. 

Line-Dancing 

No visit to Nashville is complete with some heel tapping, boot-slapping, synchronized line dancing. Turn Their Heads is a group line dance specialist that will teach you in their own space, or even come to where you’re staying! They teach line dancing, country swing, and two-step. 

Nashville’s Ballet 

While the city is most known for its country music, the Nashville Ballet is a necessary performance for dancers and their families to enjoy. The Nashville Ballet is the largest professional ballet company in Tennessee and was founded in 1986 after several years of pulling together performances with local dance talent sources from the many performing venues in the area. 

Numinous Flux Dance Company 

Laura Valentine, the artistic director and choreographer for Numinous Flux Dance Company in Nashville, has begun to be recognized with awards such as the winner for BellaMoxi Dance Convention’s 2017 Emerging Artists Choreographic Festival and the RAW Artist of the Year for Tennessee. Her award-winning piece, “Remorse” is only one reason to check out Laura and her troupe on your next Nashville tour.  

Nashville is a top choice for dance team performance travel, and these are just some of the highlights available to traveling groups. If you would like more information on Performance and Competition opportunities. Email us at Dance@WorldStrides.com. See you in Music City, U.S.A.!
