Studio & Dancer Nominations

Nominating a dance studio or company for consideration in Advanced Dance Contest is a recognition of excellence—an acknowledgment of outstanding training, artistry, and commitment to the craft of dance. It highlights the collective effort of dancers, teachers, parents, and staff who have cultivated a culture of discipline and creativity within their community.

​

From the nomination pool, only select studios and companies will receive an invitation to audition for Advanced Dance Contest. An invitation signifies exceptional merit and grants their dancers the opportunity to compete in solo, duet, trio, and group divisions among the nation’s most elite performers.

​

All nominations remain anonymous to studio and dancers.
