COMPETITION DETAIL

Our 2nd year attending a wild intensive The kids all loved it! The staff was super nice, icons were helpful and the merch obviously we loved. Enjoyed the awards at the end and the icon preformances! Can’t wait til next year!

Love this and want to attend again!

My daughter attended the Wild convention today and enjoyed it tremendously. She said the teachers were fantastic, the choreography was age appropriate, and the classes were fun. They added a tap class last minute due to a medical issue with one of the instructors, and she LOVED it! (They did not offer tap the last time she attended this convention.) She highly recommends this convention and would happily attend it in the future.

We attended Wild Convention for the 1st time this winter. I think it was a great learning experience for my daughter. I do agree it seemed to be the same kids picked to demonstrate and it seemed the teachers already knew the kids. However these kids were really good and deserved to be picked. I just wish they sometimes would acknowledge a kid for trying or showing improvement. Overall I loved the experience and would definitely do it again. The venue however was disappointing because you had to walk several blocks to get lunch and the kids only had 1/2 hour to eat. Next time have a place with a food court.

WILD - Atlantic City....was an epic fail. It was the most overbooked convention that I have ever attended. Why can\'t they cap attendance? Further more they should cap obsever attendance. In the junior room - the parents were so loud and obnoxious that the kids could not even hear the instruction. In the teen room it was so packed that there was no room to move. For the audition numbers....it was very rushed as some of the instructors had \"to catch a plane.\" So for the sake of time the teens were only split into 4 groups for the audition numbers...no way to see anyone actually dancing. Thus all the scholarships went to kids that the staff already knew. Throughout the day the instructors called students from a particular studio by their first names all day b/c they knew them from choreographing at their studio. Isn\'t it ironic that the studio that won a huge percentage of the scholorships has one of their teachers on the WILD staff? These were kids that won all the scholarships. Everyone\'s child paid money to go there and so they should get an equal chance. However, when it is so overcrowded it is just easier to give scholorships to the kids that you already know.

Love Wild! They are able to teach so much in only one day! It\'s a nice balence of styles throughout the entire day and the classes aren\'t too packed. Definitely would recommend!

Wild is always a great time!! They are able to pack so much good information and choreography in one day, which makes it so awesome. The faculty is amazing and truly cares about the improvement of the dancers attending! Highly recommend!

Loved this convention! We have attend Wild now for 3 years and have loved it every year. The faculty is amazing, and approachable. The classes are challenging and fun for the dancers. The audition piece at the end of the day is a great learning tool for the dancers. Even if they don\'t win a scholarship at the end of it, it is a great way for dancers to get the feel of what it is like to attend an actual audition. The fact that the event is only one day makes it affordable for parents, especially since it comes at the time of the year when costumes fees and such are due. It allows for our dancers to attend a high caliber convention with out the high price tag. The only reason why I am not giving it 5 star is because for the last two years, it has not had a tap class in our city.
