WHERE TALENT SHINES
WE'RE A 100% DANCE FOCUSED COMPETITION WITH THE GOAL OF PROVIDING A PROFESSIONAL AND ORGANIZED EVENT FOR COMPETITIVE DANCERS IN THE MIDWEST.
OUR EVENT IS HELD IN THE STATE-OF-THE-ART OSCAR LARSON PERFORMING ARTS CENTER ON THE CAMPUS OF SOUTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY IN BROOKINGS, SD.
​
​
ALL ROUTINES ARE RECORDED IN HD AND OVERLAID WITH OUR JUDGE'S COMMENTARY & CRITIQUES. COACHES RECEIVE FULL ACCESS TO THEIR VIDEOS AND HAVE THE OPTION TO SHARE THEM WITH THEIR DANCERS. DOING IT THIS WAY ELIMINATES THE NEED FOR JUDGES TO PHYSICALLY WRITE THEIR CRITIQUES ON PAPER AND ALLOWS US TO KEEP THE COMPETITION MOVING QUICKLY BETWEEN ROUTINES- PLUS THIS IS AN AMAZING BENEFIT TO DANCERS AS THEY RECEIVE FEEDBACK IN A WAY THAT IS COMMUNICATED CLEARLY.
​
YEP, YOU READ THAT RIGHT. THERE IS NO ADMISSION FEE FOR SPECTATORS, FAMILY OR FRIENDS TO COME TO THIS COMPETITION!
​
NO LATE-NIGHT AWARD CEREMONY! WE HAVE TWO AWARD CEREMONIES (MIDDAY FOR TEAMS AND EARLY EVENING FOR SOLOS & ENSEMBLES).
WE UTILIZE DANCEBUG- AN ONLINE REGISTRATION SERVICE THAT MAKES REGISTRATION QUICK AND EASY!
OUR JUDGES ARE TECHNICALLY TRAINED AND HIGHLY QUALIFIED WITH
EXTENSIVE BACKGROUNDS IN DANCE.
ASIDE FROM THE STANDARD PLACEMENT AWARDS, WE ALSO AWARD THE FOLLOWING:
-
EMPIRE AWARD (GRAND CHAMP)
-
BROADWAY BOUND (MOST ENTERTAINING)
-
BEST COSTUME
