Once selected, they are given the opportunity to perform at the resort for an international audience of theme-park guests.

Millions of performers have graced the stages of the Disney Parks in the more than 25-year history of the program.

Disney Performing Arts offers band, choral, dance and auxiliary performers the opportunity to learn, perform and compete at Disney theme parks.
