🕺 Bringing the Magic to Life: The Performers
Behind every great parade is a passionate team of performers and creators bringing the vision to life.
Choreographed by Cindy Wilson, the parade’s dance numbers are inspired by each film represented in the procession, blending various styles into one cohesive, breathtaking performance.
Every light cue, musical note, and dance move has been meticulously rehearsed to ensure an electrifying performance on opening night.
As Show Director Tara Anderson reminds us, “We need to touch every heart.” That’s the Disney way.
