COMPETITION DETAIL

Excellent competition in Washington,IL. Great master class! Judges were very good and gave great critiques. Would love to attend again since they have a student choreography catagory.

Facility was hard to get to due to construction, but it was a nice facility. Competition is alittle on the expensive side...I don\'t really have anything bad to say. Staff was nice.

This comp was very disappointing. Facility set up was horrible - you had to travel through back stage to enter dressing rooms. Major distraction for performers. They experienced computer issues with judging and presentation of awards. won\'t be back

Wow! My daughter has been competing for 10 years and this is the 1st time we have been to World Class. What a terrific competition! Love how the kids check in at the desk and get a program and goody bag! A nice touch. The staff was friendly and we particularly enjoyed the host (Lindsey could be her name) because she watched ALL the dances all day long. That was impressive! We\'ve been to so many comps where the hosts waltz in right before awards and say generic things to the dancers. This host was professional and gave specific compliments to each dance. The judging seemed fair as they didn\'t favor one studio over the others. I hope our studio chooses World class again next year. It\'s my favorite!

I\'m rating WCTE again because my first time there was a Dance Moms event. Now that I went to a regular competition I can say that it was great! I took away a star because I did not like one of the judges. I think harping on a dancers thick long hair not being in a tight enough ponytail, and wanting a dancer with a pixie hair cut to \"match\" the other dancers in a ponytail (like how????) was a waste of everyone\'s time. Other than that, it was professionally run, fun for the dancers, and the venue was excellent.

This competition was very organized and very well run! Entry fees were slightly more than other competitions, however, the quality was higher and included a program and videos of dances. Looking forward to returning to this comp. this year!

This Competition was very well organized. The staff was very encouraging towards the girls and the Prop dads. I love how they interacted with the girls before, during and after the competition. The awards ceremony was GREAT!

Overall the World Class Talent Experience competition is friendly and exciting. The staff is always welcoming and full of advice and enthusiasm. From personal experience, the staff even remembered who I was from previous competitions and conventions. The atmosphere at the competition is warm and cozy as well as fierce and competitive. The judges give great feedback with helpful corrections that are not too harsh, but are not sugar coated. The competition is run very smoothly and they usually adhere to the time schedule they have prepared. I learned a lot of new outlooks on dance from the World Class staff. The competition can lead to new opportunities and further your education in dance. World Class Talent Experience is an AMAZING competition that will not only challenge the dancer but teach him/her as well.

WCTE is a fantastic competition! It is very well run and organized. The staff are very kind and encouraging to the dancers. The judging at WCTE is very fair and they give great critiques to the dancers. I like that they offer 3 levels of competition. Their awards ceremony is so much fun for the dancers and they really make them feel special!! My girls love WCTE and we can\'t wait to go back this year. This is a top notch competition.

It is a very well-run competition. Lots of awards handed out to dancers and studios. Director and staff are helpful and compassionate. My daughter loved the dance class at the start of the competition day.

I went to WCTE during their first tour season in Charleston, SC. Firstly, it was a great experience to have our competition in my hometown. The venue was clean and organized and I was greeted by a friendly staff. The dressing rooms were not crowded and there was plenty of space for our studio to get ready. For competition, they always ran on time and the backstage managers were polite and helpful. It really made my competition experience memorable. Their awards were the most unique from any competition I had been to, was fun and entertaining. I have talked to the staff multiple times at different occasions and they consistently are timely, professional, were genuinly interested in their customers. I was pleasantly surprised when I was modeling for the Dance Teacher Summit in NYC to find myself on one of their advertisements. They have done so much to help me grow as a dancer, and I am thankful for that. I would definately return to WCTE when I get the opportunity because I had such an amazing time.

WCTE is different from any other competition. I look forward to it every year. The judges and entire staff are so friendly making it so easy to forget the stress of it all and make it so fun for everyone there. The goody bags are so thoughtful and show they really care about us dancers.

I loved this competition! Our dancers had a blast and there was a great personal touch feel to the whole experience. One of our injured dancers was recognized with a get well gift and the free dvd of our dances was awesome! We are looking forward to going back this year!!!

I love this dance competition. Everyone is so nice, and kind. I like that the competition gives snack bags. That makes them different from other ones. The judges are also really nice and helpful. I also like that they give a sportsman ship award. It reminds everyone that even though we are competing against each other, we should still be one group all trying to be our best.

It was such a great experience. The master class was so much fun and I loved the judges awards. I also really enjoy the convention.

A fun, well organized dance competition! My daughters love it! The staff is friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!

Such a friendly dance competition. Judges are knowledgeable. Staff and backstage are organized and helpful.

Our studio attended the Orlando, FL competition last season and enjoyed our time. We are returning this year. My daughter loved the awards ceremony and participating in the opening dance. The staff is friendly and the competition finished ahead of schedule.

A great competition! Very well run!!

First time attending this year! Loved it! My daughters had a great time! The competition is organized, exciting and fun.

My daughter Sophia and her entire team at IntenCity dance Project had a great time. I especially enjoyed that scholarships could be received from their stage performances. That was a nice treat. The one night workshop was fun for the kids as well. We also enjoy attending Ambition the workshop when it comes as well.

Decent comp but not very exciting. Good judging amd feedback. Reasonably priced. Just needs a bit more excitement.

Competition is well organized and very friendly. This was our 2nd year competing here at both a regional and national. I enjoyed the Nationals this year however it wasn\'t anything special. It was very similar to the regional events and nothing really shouted out. Hey this is a fantastic nationals. I loved the opening number and workshops they were phenomenal. I really wish that it felt more like a National instead of just a regional event. The judges were fair but I did not like how they were the same judges from regional and also that the judges were not switched out for the Ultimate Dance Challenge at the end of Nationals. I believe there should have been a fresh set of judges as all the other competitions do. I also think that there should be a limit on how many solos can be considered for overalls and top studio. Maybe 2-3 should only be allowed. It is hard when you have soloists doing 5 pieces. Don\'t get me wrong they were good but there are many dancers. We did well at both regional and national events, just a few suggestions for the future. The venues were nice at both and it is very well run. Just would like there to be changes made in the future if we keep going back. Staff is very friendly.

Enjoyed the nationals! would like to see a fresh panel of judges for the elite competition, instead of the same ones who have already seen the dances. that seems a bit unfair. Also think the rulings need to be looked at for those dancers that have multiple solos.. seems to pad for the overall scoring.. Judges were great. Master classes were phenomenal. Goody bags are always a hit. The venue was beautiful, but the staff could try and understand this is a dance competition, and parents may have to run back and forth.

Our studio attended this competition for the first time last year. Judging seemed fair. The announcer for awards gave all the parents a massive headache, I can still hear her voice in my head a year later......fourrrrrr starsssss

Scoring definitely in favor of studios with many numbers. Have been to many competitions over the years and this is definitely a weird one. Over priced also. Will not be doing this one in the future.

This comp is just ok. We went when ALDC was there. Dressing room space was small. The venu didn\'t offer enough food choices. But i do like that they let you upload the music online ahead of time for your entries.

Attended the Manahawkin Invitational Event and we enjoyed it! Lots of good talent and lots of studios participated. The competition was extremely organized and ran on time. Scores and overall placements were fair and non bias to anyone studio. Our studio will be attending another World-Class competition this coming season.

Such a great environment and nice staff! We wouldn\'t attend if ALDC was there though, it sounds like to much of a hassle for us \"normal\" people. Other than that we will keep going back!

It was okay...We went to a Dance Moms recording so of course it wasn\'t real. My dancers were backstage when the ALDC girls went backstage to scope out the area so they got to meet them which was exciting for them. But the day was really long with mostly solos so it seemed to drone on. I would try the regular competition again just to get the real experience.

My girls and I are very excited to see this competition on our schedule again for the 2015 season! We had a wonderful time in Charleston, SC last year. Very fair judging and extremely organized.

Very simple competition. Loved the goody bags and dog tags. They also had their named gear on sale for under $10..loved that!

Staff was very nice and friendly. Goody bags were a HIT! We loved the master class. However, Scoring system was a disappointment. We feel like we were punished because there were not enough entries in our division to give anyone a first place. Our dancers left feeling defeated.

We were invited to this competition as part of a Dance Moms filming! Of course my students always enjoy everytime we attend these events ! Being it was a filming it would be unfair to judge this competition fairly! Maybe in a different situation ( regular dance competition) it would be a great experience! Not crossing this comp off my list!!

Went to the dance moms filming… kind of disorganized but maybe if it were not a filming would be a different situation. Would probably try again.

My daughters and I had a great time at this competition. Our studio took advantage of the Master Class, which was amazing! The competition director and staff were ALL professional, friendly and took time out of their day to get to know the studios and dancers. I feel that this competition is run better than some that have been in business for years.

We attended the competition in Baltimore and I really enjoyed it. Pluses for me included: 1. Location at a small college with free parking located close to eating and shopping and hotels. 2. FREE program!!! 3. Goody bag for the dancers 4. Break for lunch which made it easier to plan 5. End of the day awards - this may be a detraction for some, especially anyone who had one dancer who competed at the very beginning of the day who had to sit wait around for awards at 7:30 p.m. but it was really nice to have all our school dancers at awards to see who got what and cheer everyone on. 6. Pictures - the backdrop make the professional pictures look very nice 7. Drawings for dancers...the iTune cards were a nice touch! 8. Ran very well and well organized 9. Master class in the morning - although our families didn\'t know about it but I\'m not sure if that is due to the studio or WCTE. 10. Point scale easier to understand (1-6) Only reason I did not give this 5 stars was the quality of the DVD which all registrants are required to buy. The quality was incredibly poor. The camera person couldn\'t even get soloists at times in the frame, let alone when there were groups on the stage. Otherwise, I\'m hoping we do this competition again and it gets bigger next year. Wow...WCT sent us all new and improved DVDs after our studio contacted them. Great customer service...back to 5 stars!!! :-)

Great experience! We all had fun and are excited to go back.

Great Competition! Attended in Supply, NC. Fair & friendly. Will be back!

Great Competition!

Experienced Judges, Fair Scores, Great Awards and the best Constructive Feedback that I have ever received at a competition!

I love this competition! I had such a blast! Can\'t wait to go back next year!!!

Do not like this competition at all. Talk to someone who ran the facebook page, and they told me I could go ahead and register (this was on a friday). So I registered and I received an email (2 days later)saying the competition is full and will not accept anymore entries. This would be understandable normally, BUT I find out that the competition had been full since THURSDAY meaning whoever runs the facebook page lied. Also, my emails were never responded to after that nor my facebook messages. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL.

We attended World-Class Talent Experience for the 1st time. My dancers liked the dog tags. The event ran ahead of schedule, staff was friendly and worked around our schedule conflicts. Score sheets are detailed and you receive your video critiques at the event.

We paid for seats in the audience and had a very difficult time finding a seat due to dancers leaving jackets in empty seats. It seemed like someone should have been helping seat guests due to this issue that effected everyone. The rating system for the dancers seemed quite varied. Some dances that were very well choreographed and executed received a 3 and a dance with significant issues also received a 3? We appreciated the opportunity to preform and see other dancers in the area.

The scoring system is very complicated and I didn\'t like the way awards were run. We have been to much better, smoother run competitions. We will not be returning to World Class Talent Experience.

My daughter attended the Ft. Lauderdale event and loved it! She is still talking about how much fun she had. We are looking forward to Nationals in July.

I have been a competition director for over 10 years, it is truly refreshing to see a dance competition award a Gus Giordano workshop scholarship to dancers. It was also nice to see choreographer's recognized for their hard work. We will definitely go again!

My daughter competed in the Woodbridge competition. I liked the way the staff conducted themselves. They were professional and friendly. The backstage manager was a bit bossy, but she did make sure the show kept on schedule. I like their scoring system, and they give every studio a dvd that has a video of each routine with judges comments.
