Introducing Aspire: Traditions

Aspire: Traditions is a brand-new performance program created to celebrate one of our favorite experiences: performing at the Disneyland Resort.

Over the years, we’ve loved taking our Young Artists to Disneyland, and now we’re making it a tradition. Aspire: Traditions is a special travel performance program that gives talented Young Artists the opportunity to create lifelong memories while representing Aspire Performing Company on one of the most magical stages in the world.

This March, our first-ever Aspire: Traditions group will travel to Disney California Adventure Park for a professional performance opportunity, and we can’t wait to share this experience with the Young Artists who join us.

The stage

This is not a field trip

Aspire performs. In May 2026, our Young Artists took the Hollywood Backlot Stage at the Disney Imagination Campus inside Disney California Adventure Park — professional sound, professional lights, and a real park audience. Traditions makes that stage the destination of a full season of work.

Park days are part of the trip

The performance is the centerpiece, and the parks are the reward. Between rehearsals and show call, Traditions travels the Disneyland Resort together — rides, shows, and late nights in Galaxy’s Edge, all with Encore mentors alongside our Young Artists the whole way.
