Now in its 20th year, the competition will feature and celebrate some of South Florida’s top young vocalists and dancers, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Boca Raton.

Rotary members and performance pros have selected more than two dozen finalists to compete in five competition categories: high school vocal soloist, high school dance soloist, middle school vocal soloist, middle school dance soloist, and dance group.

The competition’s finalists represent schools and performance educators from all over South Florida. Many Future Stars alumni have gone on to college-level study at music and dance programs to pursue professional careers in the performing arts.

The Rotary Club of Boca Raton annually awards a need-based performing arts scholarship, and has over the years helped many Future Stars participants with scholarship assistance to pursue their dream of a career in the performing arts.
