The Spirit of America Dance Team consists of dancers from American Dance/Drill Team, Crowd Pleasers, Marching Auxiliaries, ShowMakers, Showtime International and various high school and studio dancers from across the country.
Placement of participants for each production number is at the discretion of Spirit of America Productions.
Participants who perform in the OPENING PRODUCTION of the parade MAY OR MAY NOT have the opportunity to come down the line-of-march. Macy’s makes this decision based on the needs of the parade production.
