ENSEMBLE ARTS PHILLY PRESENTS
ILUMINATE,
A HIGH-TECH, GLOW-IN-THE-DARK, DANCE SPECTACLE,
LIGHTING UP THE MILLER THEATER,
SEPTEMBER 26, 2025

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (August 5, 2025) – Ensemble Arts Philly is proud to present iLuminate, the internationally acclaimed dance group known for their glow-in-the-dark performances and cutting-edge LED technology. Lighting up the Miller Theater on Friday, September 26, 2025, at 7:00 p.m., iLuminate seamlessly fuses imaginative choreography, energetic music – spanning pop, rock, jazz, Latin, and hip hop – and dazzling technology for an unforgettable multi-sensory stage experience.

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.

“iLuminate kicks off our 2025-26 Family Discovery Series, an annual lineup of family-focused concerts, performances, and dynamic experiences that foster creative expression and arts appreciation to benefit young people well into adulthood,” said Frances Egler, Vice President of Theatrical Programming and Presentations. “This show in particular incorporates a wide variety of musical genres while keeping audiences visually engaged through mesmerizing movement and extraordinary technology.”

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 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.
