Dance groups apply to perform at Celebration, and SHI invites groups from the applicants who apply. SHI sponsors performances at Centennial Hall and the Elizabeth Peratrovich Hall and sometimes in smaller venues. SHI’s board of trustees also designates a lead dance group for each Celebration. The lead dance group for Celebration 2024 will be Dakhká Khwáan Dancers (People of the Inland), a Tlingit group based in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada.

Application coming soon.
