iLuminate has been a household name since we were called “The BEST NEW ACT in America!” during our run on America’s Got Talent in 2011. Maybe you saw us on TV or heard about us through one of our international appearances or saw our Live show in the heart of New York City. No matter how you found us, we’re just glad you did!
iLuminate is a company based on the fusion of technology and dance. This distinct intermix will reawaken your senses and imagination! We are a diverse team of experts and together we create a visual experience unlike anything you’ve ever seen.
Audiences will see dancers in electrified glow-in-the-dark suits performing dynamic routines and illusions on a darkened stage. It’s a show that’s completely unique to our brand and incomparable to any other dance performance.
iLuminate is the brainchild of Miral Kotb, a woman whose true passions in life are dance and software engineering, which is why you’ll see her both manning the keyboard and dancing on stage in our archive of video performances (which you absolutely should check out).
In 2009, Miral combined her two passions to create our 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.
You may have seen iLuminate technology in shows around the world — from Cairo to Malaysia and the United States to Hong Kong, we are racking up our mileage points. Check out our Blog to get our exclusive travel stories! Not a world traveler? Watch us from home!
We’ve been on TV shows like Dancing with the Stars, the X-Factor, Good Morning America, The Wendy Williams Show and The Ellen DeGeneres Show. As well as The American Music Awards, MTV’s Video Music Awards, BET Awards, The Nickelodeon Awards, Billboard, and Latin Billboard Awards.
This unique class blends three movement modalities into a comprehensive workout experience. You will experience Dance, Strength Training, and Dynamic Stretching. This program is designed for individuals who want to enhance their fitness with a combination of high-energy and easy-to-follow dance moves, plus low-impact strength movement using loop resistance bands. We will finish with a dynamic stretching routine with an emphasis on improving flexibility by reducing muscle tension, pain, and stiffness. You will experience a full-body workout in a fun and supportive environment. Whether you’re a fitness enthusiast or just starting your journey, this class offers a welcoming space to challenge yourself, learn new skills, and achieve a harmonious balance of strength, rhythm, and flexibility. Join us to energize your body, uplift your spirit, and stretch your way to a healthier YOU!
On Monday, April 8, 2024, it is estimated between 3:08-3:19 pm people within a 115-mile-wide band across the state of Ohio will experience a total solar eclipse.
- A solar eclipse: when the moon casts its shadow on the Earth as it passes between the Earth and the Sun.
- A total solar eclipse: when the moon appears to totally obscure the Sun. (According to NASA, the sky will darken as if it were dawn or dusk.)
A total solar eclipse is a rare and spectacular event. On average, one happens somewhere on the Earth only once every 1.5 years. Only 21 total solar eclipses have crossed the lower 48 states in the entire existence of the United States.
The last total solar eclipse visible in Ohio was in 1806. The next total solar eclipse in Ohio will be in 2099. To learn more about visit eclipse.ohio.gov.
