Come Join the Vulcan Performers for their 15th professional event and 3rd annual "Naughty or Nice" holiday event at the Hill Center within the historic Alabama Theater.
The Vulcan Performers are Bham's hottest professional dance group featuring local professionals ages 18-30 in styles such as hip hop, ballet, jazz, ballroom, breakdance, and more! All of the dancers are either college students or recent college graduates working non dance careers that perform professionally in the area.
It is a night of arts, attitude, and social. Come join us at 6pm for the arts show featuring local singers, photographers, free ballroom dance lessons, painters, and other local artists. Local Charities such as "Ronald Mcdonald House" and Three Hots and a Cot" for homeless veterans will also present unique causes and talk about future social events.

All dances incorporate the themes listed above. There will be guests performances by Devyani Bellydance group and 4th grader dancing cancer survivor, Alex Swader supporting his self made "Tapping out against Cancer" charity.
The "Vulcanettes" junior dance team will also make their debut.

TJ and Wendy Zito have future plans to start male groups for hip hop, breakdance, and other styles to expand junior dancing througout Birmingham.
