Pro-Am Program
Build the room
Single Dances, Multi-Dances, Challenges and Pro-Am Shows create variety and momentum.
The event
More than a dance show
The Pro-Am Minibal is Vertigo Dance School’s signature gala: an intimate evening built around professional–amateur partnerships, live performance and a carefully hosted guest experience.
Each edition brings dancers, coaches, spectators and partners together in a setting designed to feel polished, warm and memorable.
- Pro-Am performances and professional showcases
- Competition and non-competitive Grand Final formats
- Food, bar, themed moments and social connection
Dance is experienced here as performance, lifestyle and memory.

Grand Final
Create the signature moment
A non-competitive, non-judged showcase: each couple presents a solo, followed by all five dances together, with live music. Limited to five couples per section.
Hospitality
Designed around the guest
The Minibal is not a sequence of performances with a party attached. It is a complete evening in which the room, service, music and transitions are part of the same story.
- Food and bar experience throughout the evening
- Full access to both programs and the themed party
- Intimate format with limited capacity
- Multiple natural moments for tasteful brand integration
The audience
Refined, social and highly engaged
The room brings together people who value performance, aesthetics and well-curated experiences—and who naturally connect with premium brands.
- Pro-Am dancers, coaches and adult students
- Spectators and guests from the wider dance community
- Entrepreneurs, professionals and socially active adults
- People drawn to quality, beauty and meaningful live experiences

Partnership milestone
The first brand-powered Grand Final
A previous edition marked an important step for The Pro-Am Minibal: for the first time, a Grand Final had a dedicated partner.
Standard Grand Final
Powered by City Grill
Because the Grand Final is a non-competitive showcase, the partnership lives inside a celebratory signature moment—not inside judging, ranking or awards.
Peak attention
A highly anticipated moment with the full room focused on the floor.
Natural integration
The brand becomes part of the event structure, not simply a displayed logo.
Premium recall
A direct association with elegance, emotion, live music and performance.
