KIDZ ROC is a show for kids, by kids, and about kids!  Talent On Parade, a national touring dance competition system, presents Kidz Roc, a full
length theatrical production making its debut in Branson, Missouri. This unique show will include 40 of the “best of the best” competition dancers from 13 surrounding states who will be involved in TOP Go Pro, a pre-professional summer workshop also hosted by Talent On
Parade. The goal of the TOP Go Pro workshop is to assist dancers as they make the transition to a professional dance career. Kidz Roc is the culmination of that workshop. The star and host of the show is professional singer/dancer Kim Alvarez. The show will also

include a special guest appearance by the up and coming rock band Armonia. Kidz Roc will appear at the Clay Cooper Theater 2 days only, July 23-24 with shows at 1 and 4 pm each day.  Purchase online or call 888-222-8910 for reservations!
