-Performance opportunities: 

• There are two shows at KC Raqs: the Friday Opening Gala and the Saturday Showcase of Stars. If you are interested in performing at KC Raqs, please indicate your interest when you register for the workshops. You will be provided a information form via email. Performance spaces are very limited and cannot be guaranteed. 
• The Saturday night show is invitation-based for regional and visiting professional dancers and troupes. In March, invitations will go out for Saturday night performers. 
• The Friday night gala will be curated to include a variety of skills and styles. The first group of selections will be made in the spring, based on the information you provide on the performer information form. (This means that if you want to be considered for a spot, you should register early in the year.)
• Please note that registration for workshops is required for ALL performers. The show lists will be announced once finalized. Performers do not need to purchase a ticket for the show in which they are performing. If you purchase a "package" that includes a show ticket, you can pass it on to a friend or family member.
