WHY CHOOSE

It is important to us to prioritize quality over quantity, which is why we limit our entries to 550 acts per event. Our commitment to providing a seamless experience for parents, teachers, and students is unwavering. By ensuring that our competitions span only three days and take place on a single stage, we respect the valuable time of everyone involved. We never extend our events with extra days or schedule competitions during standard school or work hours. This dedication to efficiency allows us to maintain the highest standards of excellence while honoring the busy schedules of our participants.

We deeply appreciate the tireless dedication studio owners and teachers invest in their students. Here at A-List Dance Association, we understand the demanding nature of competition hours, where every moment counts. After a day filled with passion and commitment, the last thing on your mind should be a lengthy drive home. That's why we're delighted to offer complimentary hotel accommodations, ensuring your weekend is as seamless and rejuvenating as possible. Embrace the comfort and convenience, allowing yourself the rest you deserve, so you can continue inspiring and shaping the stars of tomorrow.

At A-List, we understand that dedication to excellence goes beyond mere accolades. It's about honoring the countless hours of practice, the unwavering commitment to improvement, and the relentless pursuit of artistic mastery. That's why we go the extra mile to reward the dedication of both teachers and students with more than just a trophy. Our commitment to providing substantial cash prizes reflects our deep appreciation for the hard work and passion that drives the dance community forward. We believe in fostering a culture where talent is not only recognized but also rewarded, empowering dancers and educators alike to continue pushing the boundaries of their craft. Because at A-List, we believe that true excellence deserves to be celebrated in a meaningful and tangible way.

At A-List Dance Association, we are well aware of the crucial role of constructive feedback in each dancer's growth. That's why we provide four judges instead of the standard three. This ensures a broader perspective and more comprehensive feedback. To maintain fairness, we drop the lowest score for each routine, creating an even playing field for all performers. Additionally, the fourth judge's score helps break ties in the overall rankings, ensuring the most accurate and fair results.

At A-List Dance Association, we recognize the invaluable contributions of dance teachers, and that's why we prioritize their comfort and well-being at every event. Each stop on our tour features a dedicated lounge where teachers can relax and recharge between performances. From catered meals for lunch and dinner to an array of snacks, coffee, and beverages, every detail is thoughtfully curated to ensure their experience is nothing short of exceptional. Our goal is to make the competition weekend as seamless and enjoyable as possible for them, allowing them to focus on what they do best: inspiring and nurturing young talent.

The magic of a competition extends far beyond the moments seen on stage. That's why we make it a priority to capture behind-the-scenes photos throughout the weekend. From candid shots of students bonding backstage to heartfelt moments shared with teachers and parents, we believe every aspect of the experience deserves to be documented. These behind-the-scenes photos not only preserve cherished memories but also showcase the camaraderie and support that define the A-List community.

At A-List Dance Association, our director brings a uniquely comprehensive perspective to the table. With experience as both a dancer, having grown up competing, and as a seasoned professional in the industry, she understands the intricacies of what makes a competition truly exceptional. Having worked at renowned competitions like Hall of Fame Dance Challenge and taught at Gayle's Dance Phase, she intimately knows the needs of both competitors and instructors. Her dual role as both a client and a former employee of a competition provides invaluable insights, ensuring that every aspect of our events is carefully crafted to benefit everyone involved. This well-rounded approach guarantees that A-List Dance Association delivers an unparalleled experience for dancers, teachers, and spectators alike.
