Interactive activations at DanceOne’s upcoming competitions in Chicago, Fort Lauderdale and Atlanta support dancers in celebrating their self-expression

DanceOne, the leading producer of educational and competitive dance events and the largest family of dance brands in the world, and Align Technology, Inc., a leading global medical device company that designs, manufactures, and sells the Invisalign^® System of clear aligners, today announced a partnership to bring confidence-boosting experiences to young dancers at three of DanceOne’s upcoming competitions.

Participating events will take place in Chicago (Feb. 20-22, 2026), Fort Lauderdale (Feb. 27 to March 1, 2026) and Atlanta (March 27-29, 2026), reaching hundreds of young dancers eager to showcase their talents, athleticism and unique personalities.

“Watching a dancer find their confidence is one of the most powerful parts of what we do,” said Noelle Pate Packett, Vice President and Executive Director, DanceOne Competition Tours. “We see firsthand how believing in yourself can transform not only a performance, but a young person’s entire outlook. When dancers feel comfortable and confident in their own skin, it allows their artistry to truly shine. Our partnership with Invisalign is about supporting that journey and helping every dancer step into the spotlight feeling proud, strong, and completely themselves.”

At each competition, families can visit Invisalign’s interactive activation space that features:

• AI Digital Smart Mirrors that enable dancers to visualize their most confident selves
• A dedicated Parent Lounge, offering a comfortable space for parents and families to learn more about Invisalign’s treatment options
• An Oral Health Scan experience, designed to educate families about their children’s smiles

Dancers can also contribute to a customized “Confidence Wall” to share what makes them feel strong and ready to perform, whether it’s support from their teammates, a favorite warm-up routine, or simply moving with confidence.

“Our purpose at Invisalign is to transform kids and teens’ smiles, so they can transform how they step confidently into the world, on stage and beyond,” said Kamal Bhandal, Vice President, Global Brand and Consumer, Invisalign.

As part of the partnership, DanceOne and Invisalign will also offer scholarships to select dancers attending the three events that can be used to attend future DanceOne events, including the prestigious DancerPalooza. This three-day event offers crash courses taught by a line-up of outstanding choreographers and features a full range of dance styles including Jazz, Ballet, Contemporary, Tap, Hip-Hop, Ballroom and more. Open to dancers aged seven years and older, DancerPalooza is one of the most prestigious dance events in the United States and takes place Aug. 8-9, 2026, in Anaheim, California.
