Many of our students compete in ballroom dancing ProAm competitions & showcases. A ProAm competition is where an amateur student is partnered with a profesional teacher. A showcase is a choreographed routine set to specific music. Students compete in categories based on their age and ability.
Ballroom dance competitions are pure energy, excitement and surrounded with friendly people who love to dance. Talent rushes at you when you participate as either a spectator or a competitor. Who Can Compete in a Dance Competition? Any student who accepts the responsibility to train and practice. In most events, dancers compete as couples. however, events such as formation team competitions are performed by teams of dancers. In a Jack & Jill event, participants enter individually and their partners are chosen by a blind draw to compete in the event. What About Social Dancers? Most competitions will have a good amount of general dancing. These intermissions allow social dancers to stretch their legs and share the floor with the competitors, (It s amazing how much your dancing improves just watching the great dancers!). Don t be afraid to join in, competitive dancers are also social dancers! How to Support Your Favorite Dancer? During the competition, you will be seeing some lovely and inspiring dancing.
