ARE YOU OUR NEXT GREAT DISCOVERY?
Discovery Spotlight™ has helped generate opportunities for many models and talent. Participants have gone on to sign with national agencies and work with prestigious clients. Others have gained local and regional attention and booked jobs from the clients they met at the showcase. Discovery Spotlight has a special approach to help dancers bridge the gap to the entertainment industry.
Our high success rate is due to the personalized attention contestants receive, and the education and confidence developed through this life changing experience.
Expo's involve workshops like "Broadway Bound" with Jeremy Sickles, Daniel Hoff Agency and "Professional Musical Theatre/Jazz" with Matthew Prescott, Joffrey Ballet/The Institute for American Musical Theatre NYC. Dancers who participated sometimes received full scholarships to their summer dance program in NY. These workshops allow you to hear directly from agents and scouts about what they are looking for.

Testimonials
ALAINA PHILLIPS
"I was a recipient of the Discovery Spotlight twice, two years in a row. I performed in the dance competition, commercial acting, monologue, and then I did Modeling Runway as well. So how do you feel? I feel amazing. This is what I want to do with my life."


GIA VILANOVA
"This has been an amazing experience, actually, my first time here at Discovery Spotlight, and I couldn't have asked for anything better."
"We are so excited to update you on what has been going on with Jillian and Aubree since Discovery Spotlight and how our experience there even led to both girls being signed with two talent agencies! It seems like just yesterday when we attended the Expo in Charleston back in the fall of 2018. Since that experience, Jillian and Aubree were signed with talent agencies BMG Atlanta as well as MMG New York. We credit this all to our exposure at Discovery Spotlight. We have always been thankful to our Discovery Spotlight Family, and we know that none of this would have happened if we hadn’t stepped foot on that stage back in 2018!"
- Gina, Mother of Jillian and Aubree Davis
