2026 Vibe Student Showcase - Group Registration
General Showcase Information
Welcome to Vibe's 7th Annual Student Showcase! We're so excited to have you join one of this year's group acts.
Our 2026 showcase theme is Jungle Dreams—a celebration of the wild, mysterious, and magical side of the jungle. Each group routine will be choreographed around this theme, with music, costumes, and movement working together to bring a unique jungle-inspired story to life.
This year we'll present four showcase performances, giving you plenty of opportunities to invite your friends and family to come cheer you on. While performers are encouraged to participate in all four performances, this is not required. During your first rehearsal, you'll provide your choreographer with your performance availability so it can be considered during the choreography and staging process. All performances will be held at the studio.
Each group act has its own rehearsal schedule, with additional rehearsals added as needed throughout the rehearsal process. Please review the rehearsal information for your selected group before registering to ensure you can commit to the rehearsal schedule.
Please note that this showcase is designed for our adult students. All performers must be 18 years or older at the time of registration.
🌿We can't wait to see this year's group acts come together and bring Jungle Dreams to life on stage! 🌿

🌿 Lyra Group Act 🌿
Meet Your Choreographer
Courtney took her first aerial class in 2019 and quickly fell in love with the art of aerial hoop. Later that year, she began incorporating lyra into her burlesque performances at The Pearl Theater in Shanghai, China. In 2020, she started teaching aerial hoop at Zero Gravity while continuing to develop her skills in lyra, aerial moon, and pocket lyra.
Outside of the studio, she works for the Department of Developmental Services. When she's not working, she loves spending time with her husband, their cats, and, most of all, soaking up every moment with her baby boy.

🐍 Silks Group Act 🐍
Meet Your Choreographer
Ashley has been training aerial silks since 2018 and began coaching in 2025. Over the past several years, she has developed a deep love for both performing and the creative process behind building an act. Ashley approaches choreography with curiosity, collaboration, and a willingness to experiment. Some of her favorite moments in the studio have come from unexpected discoveries and rehearsal "mistakes" that turned into something even better.
She is excited to collaborate with students throughout the creative process and create a performance that showcases everyone's unique strengths. Let's make some art!
