Project: FULL OUT!

Overview

A super-fun Hip Hop dance showcase that incorporates story-telling, a little comedy, live musicians, and even an interactive game show for the audience.

Project: FULL OUT is a production company that provides performance opportunities to second-chance dancers based in Charlotte, NC. These are individuals who are highly skillful but never got the opportunity to live out their dreams of dancing on the big stage. Think former, aspiring, and community dancer meets a hip hop variety show!

Project: FULL OUT creates dance-related live events and made for TV programming such as game shows, concerts, and award shows. Project: FULL OUT, better known as PFO, was created by Producer, Director, and Choreographer Ana Ogbueze, in an effort to change the narrative about what makes a person a "real" dancer. Her vision to create doors of opportunity for aspiring professional dancers has not only reshaped the Charlotte dance community but also highlighted the importance of a dancer's wellness & access to resources. 

Semi-annually, PFO provides a 6- to 8-week training program that culminates in a live dance concert featuring performances from aspiring, professional, and recreational dancers specifically located in Charlotte, North Carolina. The program not only creates an irresistible performance platform but also fosters a safe space for the dancers' development of their mental & physical well-being. Specifically, in the areas of mobility, stress management, mood management, and perseverance, dance empowers the mind-body and soul. The program was created to challenge, coach, and celebrate dancers from all walks of life as they pursue their dance dreams. The spirit of this event even makes an invaluable impression on its viewers. 

Project: FULL OUT thrives on the campaign, “Push For Opportunities". We push for opportunities to create, train, and live out our dreams.

PFO's mission is to provide training & performance opportunities that diversify the Charlotte dance industry and promotes the therapeutic benefits of dance.

​"And in order to create space for the Charlotte dance community, you have to first  believe you can and then remind yourself daily why you started. I first believed in a platform that could create visibility for local talent, enriching career resources, and community. I started PFO because there was a void for dancers in Charlotte and somebody had to fill it."

"The best part about PFO is witnessing how it empowers dancers to push through obstacles physically, mentally, and spiritually."
