Somewhere in America, a group of pre-teen competitive dancers are plotting world domination.
One routine at a time, all the way to the national titles. Blazingly original, Dance Nation explores the wild forces of adolescence and the tangled magic of female friendships, with all its funny, fierce and feral moves. This is a play about ambition, growing up, and growing into ourselves.
