We attended this competition for our first time this year. It was a small competition. It was a nice venue (Huntsville Algonquin Theatre). The kids found the awards ceremonies to be a little lame. They would give away packets of gum which struck the kids as odd and I\'m sure the theatre wouldn\'t have appreciated all that gum around. The judging was one of the worst parts. We had one judge who would actually say she was just going to sit back and watch instead of make comments on some dances. What\'s the point of having a judge at all in that case? Don\'t think we will be returning.

We attended this competition a few years ago. It's small and local. Has a tight knit feel to it. Very small venue. When we attended, the awards sessions were highly disorganized. It was not clear whether they were having tabulation problems or whether they were just caught up in the volume. MC did her best to keep things interesting.
