SPECTACULAR! MAGICAL! DAZZLING!” –The New York Times

“BEST NEW ACT IN AMERICA! SUPERB, SENSATIONAL!” –America’s Got Talent

“AMAZING, ELECTRIFYING, FANTASTIC – WOW!” –Ellen DeGeneres

From the moment the lights fade to darkness, you are transported into another world…another dimension, where the music moves you and the visuals are unlike anything you’ve ever seen. Welcome to the world of iLuminate, named “Best New Act in America” by America’s Got Talent in 2011.  A fantastic fusion of cutting edge technology and dance that has been wowing the world ever since appearing on AGT over a decade ago…to performing one of Las Vegas’ top shows to this day. iLuminate features a brilliant cast of the country’s top dancers performing to energetic music – including top Pop and Rock hits from the 70s, 80s, and 90s, a little jazz, a little Latin, a little hip hop and more.  The dancers are outfitted with customized LED suits synced to iLuminate’s proprietary software to create extraordinary lighting effects with each of the phenomenally choreographed dance moves.

This mind-blowing, multi-sensory experience is completely unique and incomparable to any other stage spectacular as the dancers perform dynamic routines and illusions on a darkened stage.  The touring show for the 23-24 season is brand new – featuring new stories, new music, new dances and new suits!  As the show progresses, each scene creates a new “room” inside “Club iLuminate” where an exhilarating blend of music, dance, illusion, technology and comedy comes to life for an experience that’s sure to be the most fun you’ll ever have in the dark. Plus…iLuminate is a family-friendly experience!  Children five years or older can attend.   Educational outreach opportunities are available.

iLuminate is the brainchild of Miral Kotb, a woman whose true passions in life are dance and software engineering, which is why she’s been seen both “operating the board” and dancing on stage in past performances. In 2009, Miral combined her two passions to create the patented iLuminate technology, the tool that enables performers, choreographers, engineers, technicians, stylists and artistic directors to produce explosive performances with customized wireless lighting programs. The results are extraordinary lighting effects choreographed with phenomenal dance moves that take viewers on an exhilarating ride.

iLuminate has been featured on shows like Dancing with the StarsThe X-FactorGood Morning America, and The Ellen DeGeneres ShowThe American Music Awards, MTV’s Video Music AwardsBET Awards, The Nickelodeon AwardsBillboard, and Latin Billboard Awards. The dancers (and Miral’s technology) have also shared the stage with stars like Chris BrownChristina AguileraBlack Eyed Peas, and Death Cab For Cutie.
