Precision Arts Challenge ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

Judges all were dancing and smiling with the kids! Loved all of them! The feedback was very useful. Thank you to PAC Louisville judges! We need to normalize trophies or plaques for adjudication. These babies work so hard all year and to just be given a pin unless you place is a let down. My daughter placed and received a plaque but I felt bad for other kiddos. Someone needs to audit these studio entries somehow. It is getting out of hand across the board. If the audience sees the difference so should the competition. It is to the dancers benefit to be moved up if they are placed incorrectly. Lastly, and this is not PAC’s fault…keep the food vendors open until awards. We were in the middle of Downtown with no fast food nearby. Yes we bring snacks. :)

The Royal Dance Competition ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

Attended Royal for the first time East Brunswick, NJ March 2025. Really liked the venue, large cafeteria space to eat and watch the live stream, gym was HOT but spacious, award were TIGHT and appreciated--no need to hear names and studios for top 10. Judging was a bit harsh for teen solos, felt like there was absolutely some special treatment for 1-2 returning perhaps studios and we were new. They had the best explanation of rules online I ever saw which was very insightful, but please, stop favoring contemporary dances with tricks--this is not acro! Dancers dance, gymnasts flip. No competitive solo should receive a low award when you were giving out so many top awards, that was uncool. Judges were really great otherwise, special awards were a NICE touch especially how they found the dancers backstage and awarded vs taking time on stage--that was FINE! Overall a good experience and hope we return. The lighting and backdrop were really pretty. Can't wait to see the pictures. The social media folks were ROCKING too. Thank you for all the fun.

True Talent ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

Always a positive, fun time. We've been competing here for years. Always a mix of studios and levels but overall has that more younger-dance feel and tends to grade with a curve in a positive direction. A great first comp of the season type comp. I wish there they did a better job (not sure honestly how this part works) ensuring there are plenty of competition in different categories--no one wants to be up just against themselves and win 1st overall. That's just silly. Awards could be tightened up a bit but love the star throwing and call out special awards. Venues are typically adequate and staff has good communication with kids and studio. We go every year! Another review mentioned not saying name and studio for awards but they do for ours--I wish they wouldn't! Move it along please ;)

Elite Dance Challenge ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

Attended the March 16th 2024 Freehold, NJ comp at iPlay. The location seemed nice at first but turned out terrible. We were not told it would be a pop-up stage, which was tacky, and seating was not ideal. The dressing room was fine and close, but whoever was running backstage was insane. They were rushing us constantly and we were sweating trying to stay on time. It was terribly scheduled. The MC and judges were downright rude and mean at times. The mix of studios did not work. You couldn't bring in any food, they even yelled about water bottles! These are athletes that need to drink and eat ALL DAY. They harassed us when checking bags when we came in, no coffee, nothing, they pointed fingers at the iPlay center. Well why did you have it there? They tried to force you to buy their crummy food, no one wanted, we all snuck in anyway. We have experienced advanced dancers and everything got High Gold. I think they were punishing us for speaking up. We will NOT be going back.

Groove ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

Our studio attended Groove for the first time earlier this year and found the event to be well-organized and the judging to be very fair. Only downside was the late awards Sunday evening. We’d always prefer a Friday evening start if we can wrap up by 4 or 5 on Sunday. Judges critiques were detailed and extremely useful, which seems rare.

Dance Champs Elite ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

At our first Regional Competition after attending Nationals last July. Both experiences have truly left us feeling like we have received the “royal treatment”. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by smiling faces and every member of the staff has been so helpful, enthusiastic, warm, and welcoming. The organization, efficiency, and attention to detail are truly amazing. So happy that Elizabeth’s’ Dance Image has joined the Dance Champs family.

Glam'r Gear ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

Because of the price I always tried to avoid it but when I finally gave in…. It is the best dance bag in the whole entire world. So much space. I love the many compartments inside. My daughter got the black sparkle and it’s stunning! It feels durable enough but will take care of it so we don’t need to purchase another one…. Make sure it fits in your car though, I got the large one and have no problems in my sub but barely fits in my car.
