VEGAS DANCE EXPLOSION 2025 EVENT UPDATES & REGISTRATION INFO

Thank you for the tremendous success and extremely memorable times at the 2024 Vegas Dance Explosion on our 25th Anniversary.

Some would say the event this past year will be hard to beat, but we are definitely going to try!

We are happy to share with you some exciting details, updates, and information about our 2025 Vegas Dance Explosion!

Let’s start with Dance Passes for 2025
We are excited to announce the addition of a NEW pass this year! Our all-new DIAMOND PASS will be available in a very limited quantity during our EARLY BIRD sales event.

DIAMOND PASS •

  • “Front-of-the-Line” access to all shows and events scheduled during VDE2025. This front-of-the-line access replaces the “Fast Pass” available in year’s past. Just like with its predecessor Fast Pass, the DIAMOND PASS will have first entry to all shows and events, including any “ticketed” events that may be added to the schedule for 2025. The addition of this new pass will rectify previous issues of fast pass upgrades not reflected on your name badge, or any confusion as to whether or not you included it in your purchase. This will also allow us to better monitor and control the entry and access process.
