 Philadelphia Festival
 Atlantic Coast Dance Championships
April 13-15, 2007
Philadelphia Airport Marriott Hotel
The name of this event used to be "Atlantic Coast Festival" and we have renamed it the original name.
Professional and Amateur competitors who covet an exciting atmosphere with a huge and enthusiastic audience and a warm atmosphere with theatrical lighting that really shows a dancer to the very best visual advantage must be part of this event. The dance community in the Philadelphia area targets the Saturday night events at the Philly Festival to be the main dance event of the year.
