COMPETITION DETAIL

My daughter has been attending Celebrity Conventions & Competitions for three years and every time we attend we are blown away by all the little details. Every dancer is truly treated like a celebrity from cute free shirts, lunch at conventions, positive encouraging teachers, judges & staff, personal connections, photo op backdrops, the dance down, high energy-the list goes on. We are grateful to get to experience Celebrity Dance and can’t wait for next time.

Our studio just attended Celebrity this past weekend in Arizona. Once again, another amazing competition! Our dancers truly were treated like a Celebrity. Every dancer is handed a cute free Celebrity shirt at check in. The Celebrity store and all the fun photo backdrops made the entire lobby of the theater a fun social hang out. The Vibe all weekend was positive, upbeat and just so much FUN! An added touch was Celebrity treated studio owners and their teachers to dinner on Saturday evening and on Sunday morning they treated us to our favorite Starbucks. Just so many extra special touches. The staff is always so kind and they make each dancer feel so special. As a studio owner I highly recommend attending a Celebrity event! We made memories to last a lifetime! Cannot wait for Nationals! Thank you Celebrity!!!

Celebrity has been a competition my studio and I have been going to for years. Every time I find myself enjoying it more and more. It allows each dancer to find their own strengths and really grow their love and passion for dance.

I have being going to Celebrity since I was little and continue to go. The environment in and out of classes and competition is always welcoming and positive. It is an incredible experience for anyone who attends.

Celebrity is very organized, and everything is well thought out. The staff is friendly, and my dancers love all the extras like the free tee and other cute merch, the Dance Down, the social media involvement, all the fun backdrops to take pictures and the fact that we have access to pictures, videos and critiques after the event. This is a perfect way to engage the little dancers and help them to improve. This competition is one of our favorites.

Outstanding on every level. From the registration process through to the awards ceremony. Leadership at the top is evident in every employee.

To whom it may concern i had some questions about an upcoming regional event. A Ms. Olivia Gregg answered the phone. She was amazing. She was engaging, friendly and very professional. She is truly an asset to Celebrity

To Whom It May Concern I just contacted the Celebrity office in regards our registration for Celebrity Phoenix Convention and was directed to Miss Olivia Gregg. I have owned and operated my dance studio for 29 years and I have to compliment your team member Olivia on being so kind and helpful with all my questions. So many competition and convention companies have no one working in their office. It sometimes takes days to get a response from other companies. Your entire Celebrity team is incredible and I appreciate all you do for me as a Studio Owner. We look forward to Celebrity Phoenix Convention. And please let Miss Olivia Gregg know she did an excellent job in answering my questions. Sincerely Kimberly Lewis Owner Dance Studio 111

We LOVE Celebrity! We attended Convention for the first time last fall in Minneapolis with roughly 20 of our dancers and had an absolute blast! One our dancers was selected for Junior Crew which landed us here at Nationals. We took our Solos, Duets and Trios to regionals in March which was a favorite for all of our dancers. At both the Convention and Competition Drew and the Celebrity staff spoiled the Instructors/Owners. There are so many smiling faces helping out at any time, incredible Instructors, judging staff and Drew, Elizabeth and Jenna all have gone out of their way to make sure all of our questions have been answered. I love all the fine details- from the small programs, to the free videos and photos, to having everything clearly marked on where to be and all the extras they offer for the teachers. Lunches, Dinners and Bar Kiki! As both a studio owner and dance parent I would and do I highly recommend Celebrity. The atmosphere is positive, inspiring, and all around a class act. Having a dancer here for Junior Crew has been a wonderful experience as well. They really do treat them like Celebrities. I love their positive feedback and push to make each dancer try their best. It has been fun to see the Junior Crew bond from all over the US. Overall I highly recommend Celebrity and cannot wait to now bring our entire Comp Team of over 150 dancers in the fall!

I have been to celebrity competitions and conventions since I was little.it has always been my favorite comp./convention. I love the positive energy and amazing people that are there. I had dreamed about being on celebrity senior crew since I started going to their events. I am so glad I get to be on crew and make new memories with new people.

My daughter is 16 and has been competing with Celebrity Dance since she was 6 or 7 years old. Celebrity has always stood out with such friendly staff who are so polite and supportive towards any and all who attend their events. We love that their regional competitions include a dance down! Celebrity conventions are also so much fun with amazing teachers who always leave my daughter feeling inspired and wanting more.

My daughter has been dancing since she was 2 years old and competing since she was 7. Celebrity competitions and conventions have always been her favorite!!! The Staff is awesome and friendly and always go out of their way to say hi and to be of help when we have questions.... The teachers never hesitate to take pictures with the kids after class. I feel like my kid grew up with Celebrity. Love them for sure!!!

Rated the comp from last Spring, which was great at the height of COVID, but then went to the convention this past fall... not what we expected. As a g-parent of a TEEN, our dancer does not want us to watch, but we snuck in a quite a few times - always the same dancers up front and being called out. I understand COVID precautions, so teachers may not want to walk around the room, but where everybody is suppose to be treated as a Celebrity, should not different dancers be called out? Only one teacher stayed on the stage to see dancers in the back. It is IMPOSSIBLE to see dancers in the back of the room from the front of the room on floor, even if you are 6 feet tall! Just real dis-appointing, because we too witnessed dancers literally pushing other dancers to be up front and then those pushers were getting all the recognition - so sad how the dance world seems to reward and promote ugliness. :( Our dancer almost always takes the back of the room, because she refuses to be around the pushiness and she likes to have room to dance, plus having a medical condition she likes to have the extra room, but being in the back and the fact that she pulled her solo from the convention competition (for medical reason - NOT COVID realated) seemed to leave her completely un-noticed and she felt defeated and punished. She usually enjoys Celebrity, and at least gets one or two calls out, but this time, after 3 days - not one call out or recognition - it was ALL the same girls that were UP FRONT!! We have never seen it like that - so sad. COVID is not an excuse for laziness - and dancers should not feel unnoticed and defeated because they choose the back - SOMEONE has to dance in the back!

My daughter has been attending celebrity conventions and competitions for the past 3 years, since 5 years old. This has always been a positive environment, great teachers and content. My daughter loves the special attention to detail from the pink carpet, backdrops for pics, check in bracelets to being provided with lunch. No other convention or competition does this. Their trophies change and they keep it new and fresh. I know my money is always well spent at Celebrity!

Just got home from the convention and have to say the convention was a NIGHTMARE! The checkin took 4ever! Line was all the way down the hotel and took us 1hr to get through registration. Then when we got to registration they ran out of the CONVNETION BOOK/schedule. The schedule is hard to read: not all parents can read size 4 font printed on a dark purple and dark blue background! COME ON! I had to take a picture with my phone and blow it up. Part of the convention price includes lunch and Sunday's lunch did not include any protein! The convention itself - the only one we have been too where it’s encouraged that you push your way to the front to be seen. Only one teacher walked around the room to see all the dancers. We all know those dancers that push their way to the front, just to be seen. Well at Celebrity, if your dancer actually stays at the back so they have room to move they will in no way be seen or have a chance at getting called out! Witnessed it first hand. Saw some amazing dancers in the back of the room not one was called out. The same dancers, over and over in the front only were called out! Unless your dancer is pushy and doesn’t care about dance space, please avoid this convention! I hope our studio does not go back!

This was my first convention as a parent, and my daughter's first convention as a dancer (Minneapolis). She was in the Junior's room and we have nothing but good things to say about the weekend! The routines that the teachers taught were perfect for the age group and skill level, the teachers themselves were amazing, staff was great, we loved the setup of the venue, and as a cherry on top - my daughter won a partial scholarship for next year's convention! Thank you Celebrity for an amazing weekend and we can't wait to come back next year!

Very well run and efficient competition. There is no reason to be concerned about COVID, because Celebrity has very large and clean dressing rooms. The stage is cleaned after so much time is passed - even if it is during your studio's dance block. Also, the check in system is organized! Truly, the entire competition is well organized - videos are posted when they say they will be posted and so are the awards ceremonies. Celebrity is very professional... so sure you will not be disappointed! :)

This was our first time attending a Celebrity Dance Competition and it did not disappoint!! Our dancers, parents and teachers had a blast. They were so well organized and efficient! The block scheduling, due to the social distancing requirements, was a dream. We cannot wait to attend another Celebrity event!

Celebrity always does it right; even with new rules and regulations, they went above and beyond to make the dancers and faculty feel comfortable and special during their event. I appreciate that they genuinely take the time to have conversations with the teacher and dancers, and they never skimp out on handing tangible awards for our performers. I know that's not the main goal of a competition, but it's nice for dancers to walk away with something after such a challenging year. Thank you, Celebrity, for being a very well-run competition with fantastic leadership, staff, and judges. We appreciate you so very much!

My daughter danced in the San Antonio competition this past weekend with Juleigh Holley’s School of Dance. This was our first time at a Celebrity Competition and it was a great experience! We loved how the staff greeted us and showed us where to go, professionalism of the competition, and having access to critiques and photos so soon after the event. Thank you for all your hard work that allows our kids to continue doing what they love in these weird times.

What an amazing experience!!! The staff was wonderful and upbeat and made the girls feel so special to be there doing what they love! It was a fabulous event and we are blessed to have been a part of it. Thank you Celebrity!

My husband and I were so impressed with how organized and thoughtful the Celebrity staff, faculty, and crew were with handling a convention during this pandemic. They put a lot of work and effort into making the weekend safe and fun! Our 3 kids had a blast and felt a bit more “normal” again because they got to do what they love...Dance! Well done Celebrity Dance!!!

Celebrity is such a humbling, invested, exciting, and welcoming competition. At each event, they are very on top of everything in order to make sure that everyone has a great and organized experience. At all of the conventions and competitions that Celebrity hosts, they teach you not only about dance and furthering a dancer’s artistry, but also growing yourself as a person! The venues and run of things always go so smoothly and their communication is incredible. Such a beautiful environment that they give to everyone who attends.

Every Celebrity event is so fun and I always feel so welcomed! While at Celebrity Conventions I learn so much to help further my knowledge of dance, but also I learn a lot to help further my growth as a human. The weekends I spend at Celebrity’s events are always super fun filled and knowledgeable. The whole Celebrity staff will make you feel welcomed and like a celebrity!

At every Celebrity event I have felt so welcomed. I have learned so much from the amazing faculty and truly felt like a Celebrity the whole weekend. Overall, I really love Celebrity and how special they make every dancer feel!!

Celebrity is one of the most welcoming competitions and conventions i've ever been too. The faculty is amazing and the environment is unexplainable! I love spending my weekends with everyone from Celebrity!

I can truly say that I have only had the best quality experiences at Celebrity events. At convention, the energy is so inspiring and every dancer leaves stronger than before. At competition, all studios are supportive, the event always runs on time, and the judging panel is top tier. Celebrity truly is a family and no matter what event you go to, you are treated like a Celebrity!!

I have loved all celebrity events that I have attended! Every event you go to you have an amazing faculty, helpful staff dance stage, and amazing assistants at conventions! Celebrity is the first convention to make me feel amazing while dancing! Celebrity Dance really does make you feel like a celebrity!

Celebrity is a true family when you talk about the faculty. They truly care for the dancers and want the best for them. They do not just teach dance, they teach real lessons and give great advice about so many subjects. Once you go Celebrity you never go back.

My studio recently attended our rescheduled regional event due to COVID-19. The Celebrity Team ran an event that would pass a white glove test in the middle of a pandemic and I applaud all involved. The preparedness, attention to detail and exemplary customer service of the Celebrity experience can obviously withstand the most unexpected of challenges. I personally feel that this company has set a new standard for what could be the foreseeable future of regional dance competitions. Celebrity has set the bar very high. Drew's leadership has built a remarkable team made up of wildly talented, genuine humans that all contribute to creating the Celebrity experience.

So far this competition out of all of them that I have been to has the nicest venue and such a faulty!!

I can't say enough about how AWESOME Celebrity is and how much it means to us. When we attended a Celebrity convention for the first time, my daughter was 14 and had been dancing for 10 years and was at the time in such a low place feeling like all her hard work was going nowhere...she wasn't meeting any of her goals and honestly we were discussing throwing in the towel on dance. Something magical happened at this celebrity convention...when the faculty spoke to the dancers from their hearts, it REALLY hit her and by the last day...she was a whole new dancer and has been on fire and meeting her goals ever since!!! This faculty genuinly CARES about these dancers!!! Love, love, love Celebrity!!!

I have been going to Celebrity since I was about 12, and it gets better every year. This past season, especially, was one of the best experiences I've had as a dancer. The energy is always so positive, and the staff and crew really DO make you feel like a Celebrity. This competition will forever and always be my favorite.

Celebrity always has a family feel to it. The staff and everyone associated with celebrity are always amazing and welcoming. They do a great job of making everyone truly feel special!

I love how unique Celebrity is as well as how much fun it is to attend. The staff is always kind and encouraging, they’re always on time, and the dance down is an extremely fun experience. I appreciate how much they pay attention to detail for our benefit.

I look forward to Celebrity Dance Conventions/Competitions every year! The entire staff is so welcoming and truly makes every single dancer feel like a celebrity. The whole environment is completely nurturing, and you can’t help but feel inspired by the positive energy and encouragement. I learn new things every single year, and I always walk out of the weekend feeling grateful, appreciated, and inspired!

We look forward to Celebrity competition and convention each year. Staff is always friendly, courteous and professional. The competitions and conventions are very well organized. The attention to detail and having the dancers’ best interest in mind separates Celebrity apart from other dance competitions/conventions. The staff truly makes everyone feel like a celebrity and customer service is second to none.

Celebrity Dance Competitions are always a favorite. The vibe is always fun and exciting with super friendly staff. I'm always impressed with how smooth each event runs, The party atmosphere and personalities of each staff member set Celebrity apart from the rest. I look forward to every year!!

We just attend Celebrity Dance Competition this past weekend. The name is perfect...the moment you entered the building the staff greeted us and made us feel like a Celebrity. We loved having a competition in a beautiful venue - the Mesa Art Center. To be able to compete on a large theater stage was wonderful. Our dancers loved receiving a free cute Celebrity shirt. The competition ran on time, the staff was kind and professional, great communication... the entire weekend was wonderful! We made great memories to last a lifetime. Our studio will be attending Celebrity Convention in the fall and Nationals at Sea 2020. Thank you Celebrity!

This is my favorite comp of the year. My background is in marketing and I feel like Celebtrity has this down! The dancers love the shirts and water bottles as a gesture of customer service. The parents love the pictures and videos as a gesture of customer service. And the studios love the online accounts and personalized schedules as gestures of customer services. But as my dancer wears her shirt throughout the year and I see all of our families sharing pictures and videos online (only from this comp because they are included) my marketing brain perks up. The screens behind the dancers, the two camera shots of video showing professionalism, the scripted announcements and C-E-L-E-B-R-I-T-Y chant before awards are all building a culture of excellence. GREAT work and we can't wait to come back next year!

Celebrity is the most organized and fun competition and convention! The staff makes it so easy for dancers, parents, and teachers. They do such a great job a making it a fun weekend for everyone involved! It is definitely the best competition/convention around!

I know going into every Celebrity Dance Competitions and/or conventions I don't have to worry about being welcomed or doubt that I will have an amazing experience. The competition is always so organized and on top of stying on time. The crew is always so respectful and a huge help! The family welcome vibe all around makes me love Celebrity and I would recommend it to any dancer.

Celebrity Dance Competitions have always been a favorite and now the conventions! The staff, and the Teacher are extremely friendly and always make sure the kids as well as the parents feel like Celebrities! Every year they step up their game and impress me every time!!! love them all!!

Amazing competition and conventions. The staff is friendly, inspiring, and completely so well organized that it makes for a seamless awesome experience. I highly recommend this to every dancer.

Really excited for this competition. My girls will be pereforming for the firest time this coming season

I absolutely LOVE this competition! The dressing rooms were a little far away from three competition, but there was always a golf cart or small bus to carry out girls to and from. Best thing about this competition, they provide a live stream for family and friends to watch from home and later, all video coverage is FREE! Awesome!!

We have always loved Celebrity!!! Their staff is personable and so friendly and helpful! Celebrity has been a part of our dance life for a longtime. From the convention to the regionals to Nationals at Sea, I love everything about them. I feel like they are a part of our family we have got to know them over the years. The competition comes very close to us, so that is nice and it's a well run and fun competition. The judging is fair and fun for the kids. Drew and his staff go out of their way to make sure everyone is having a good time and feel good about themselves. We haven't had the chance to see them this past year, but hope to get back this year. The dance down is also something my daughter has loves participating in. It really gives the kids to get on stage and have fun!! We also love Duke, the Celebrity mascot!!

So excited for this competition. We have never performed here but looks very cool

I absolutely love Celebrity! The staff are an incredible group of professionals that truly have a passion for dance and deeply care about each individual dancer. From the dance downs, complimentary lunches at conventions, fast and energetic award ceremonies and of course their Nationals at Sea; Celebrity Competitions and Conventions is unlike any other! This competition is outstanding and is welcoming to every type of dancer, no matter what, everyone feels like a celebrity!

Celebrity Dance Competition is such an inviting and inspiring environment. I really love all the staff and the feedback we get on our pieces. Love love love Celebrity!

I love Celebrity Dance! They always make me feel so welcome and take the stress out of competitions! See you soon!

We absolutely love Celebrity! The staff is so nice, and Drew is the best!!! Always such a welcoming and friendly environment. The event ran smoothly and on time. Love the awards ceremony. Lots of fun for the dancers. This is one of the toughest competitions with no levels, they only do a top 3 overall, and there has always been at least 50-80 competitors in my daughter's age bracket. I do like how they break it down by style too, so you at least know where you placed there. Since our hours fall under the middle level for any other comp, some of our dancers love to test themselves by participating in this event. The judging seems fair, for the most part, and they get valuable feedback. WHile I am glad to see that they don't just hand out platinums, this is the hardest competition to earn a platinum. My daughter has competed in 10 competitions this year to date and has received the highest medal at everyone EXCEPT Celebrity. LOL. She get's a bit closer each year, and wants to keep trying. All in all, this is definitely a favorite of ours!! Can't wait till the convention in the fall and the next competition next year. Maybe she will finally earn that platinum :-)!

We absolutely love Celebrity. We have been to several Celebrity competitions, conventions (1st time in San Antonio!!) and to Celebrity's Nationals at Sea. The events are well ran. The staff is always willing to answer any question you may have and help if they can. At convention the dancers all had room to dance and not feel like they were right on top of each other. The convention teachers were fantastic, they challenging but encouraging . Some of my daughter's favorite convention teachers are Celebrity teachers. We are excited to start our competition season in January with Celebrity San Antonio.

We attended the San Antonio Convention this time and it was Awesome!!! The Staff is always friendly and super helpful. It was my daughter's first year in the Teen room and the instructors made her feel super comfortable. our next even is San Antonio January competition and we can't wait!!

We attended the Celebrity Convention in San Antonio this past weekend. Unfortunately, we were able to attend only one day instead of the full weekend. I've said it before and I'll keep saying it: Celebrity is the absolute BEST at conventions and competitions. This was my girls' second Celebrity convention and we've been to several Celebrity competitions and Nationals at Sea. They have the most well run events and by far the nicest and most helpful staff. Showstopper comps are also ran very well, but the atmosphere and friendliness of Drew and his staff definitely put Celebrity over the top as the Best of the Best. For any studios out there who may be reading this and trying to decide where to attend, you will not be disappointed with Celebrity!!

This review is for the convention. We just attended this convention at Great Wolf Lodge in Washington. What an amazing event!!!! This convention/competition never disappoints! The teachers were involved and inspiring. They gave attention to all the dancers. It was always the same 3 dancers picked out in literally every single class, but they were pretty good. The staff is super friendly and involved. Love the merchandise and the hot lunch that is provided. We absolutely love this event and can't wait until next year!

Love, Love Love Celebrity Dance Competition and their staff! Their competition is run so smoothly and they make it so much fun for all the dancers and the parents!! We have attended a Nationals and Sea when my daughter was on the Junior Crew and it was a trip my daughter and family will never forget. We hope to attend another Nationals within the next few years before my daughter graduates. One of the highlights is always the Celebrity strut!! We always look forward to them coming to Iowa each year! We are bummed they won't be coming to Iowa this year for the convention, but we will still attend the competition hands down!! See you in February!!

Getting to dance at a Celebrity regional event this past competition season was easily one of the highlights of my year! Everything ran super smoothly, the staff was beyond helpful and kind, and I truly felt like a Celebrity for the duration of the entire regional event! The company does an excellent job of making all dancers feel welcome and special, which truly made the competition so enjoyable and fun! Celebrity is also special in the sense that they have so many opportunities for their participating dancers. I was chosen for a wonderful opportunity known as the Celebrity Crew and to say I am excited to dance for and represent Celebrity at their Nationals at Sea is an understatement! I would encourage ALL dance studios to partake in a Celebrity regional near them. It is an experience you will never forget and a competition you will definitely want to add to the annual schedule.

Celebrity Dance Competition has always been my favorite competition to attend. It is amazing how smoothly and ON TIME this competition runs, which is something very rare for most other competitions. The staff is not only professional, but also extremely helpful and kind. The connections and friendships made between the staff ad the dancers are unlike anything that you would find at any other competition. It is quite easy to see how much the staff absolutely loves what they are doing, therefor making it a fun and loving atmosphere for all dancers AND families to be in. I highly recommend attending Celebrity Dance Competitions; they truly do make every dancer feel like a celebrity!

The Celebrity Dance Compeitions have always been and always will be my favorite competition for many reasons. Celebrity brings many dancers from many different places together to celebrate the art of dance and share what they have worked so hard on. The panel of judges are exquisite and in my opinion the top in the dance industry. I always love getting my judging sheets back because I can tell they care about me and want me to improve. I always meet so many new and kind people from the celebrity staff when i attend their competitions & conventions. The staff cares about making you feel like a part of the celebrity family. I also love how the competition is on time because that doesn't happen a lot. I definitely would recommend going to a celebrity competition or convention because of many reasons. You will not only grow as a dancer, but as a person too!

I attended Celebrity regionals in Mesa, AZ. I have been going to Celebrity for a couple of years now and every year they continue to prove that they are the best of the best. They are always on time and the staff is so supportive. I always enjoy the Celebrity experience and can't wait to go back next year!

The staff is warm and welcoming! Competition ran on time and the judging was fair with top awards across the genres represented. Pretty disappointed in the overall winner in the oldest division because the content was really too adult. Even thought the division goes through age 19, it was inappropriate and I am always dismayed when those types of dances are given high awards. We attended the May 2017 Mesa event.

My kiddos love to dance, and over the years we have spent hours and hours at conventions and competitions. Without a doubt, there is a difference! Celebrity is a drastically better experience than any other! The dancers are known - not by an assigned number like cattle - but by the name of their dance! They have staff walking around making sure everyone is comfortable and aware of which dancer is on deck! Everyone is accessible and friendly.. it feels like family! Dance Down is a great way to stretch the dancers while having a blast.. And the awards are the most amazing dance party ever! Beach balls, music, and dancing.. the energy couldn't be higher and it exudes from the staff-- who are CLEARLY having fun! As a parent that spent three full days there with four of my kids.. I had as big a blast as my dancers! We love the Celebrity treatment and the Celebrity Experience and will look forward to all events hosted by this crew. They are in a league of their own for sure!

Being a graduating senior and looking back on years past, I definitely feel like growing up on the Celebrity stage was such a blessing. They are professional, helpful, and most of all KIND! From asking questions backstage to asking questions via email, the Celebrity staff is always so helpful in making sure all dancers, parents, and teachers are comfortable and prepared. Having experienced their regional competitions, convention, and national competition I am so glad I had the opportunity to experience such an amazing event growing up!

My daughter has done this competition 3 years in a row and I LOVE how they make their dancers feel like Celebrities. All the hard work these dancers put in at the studio to get ready for competitions, Celebrity always rewards them for it. I also have to say that my daughter loves to dance but she gets a little scared when she meets new people. The staff at Celebrities made her feel so comfortable and she really shined on stage this year. Thank You and we will see you next year!!!!

An all around great competition. It runs very smoothly, sticks to the schedule, and is on time which is difficult to say for some other competitions I've been to. The staff is always very nice and the Dance Down is a blast! This is a competition I look forward to every season!

The staff is so friendly and the environment is very inviting, Celebrity really makes me feel like a Celebrity! The judges give amazing feedback and scores to help improve, theyfollow the scheduling, stay mostly on time, and they give out amazing free tanks or t-shirts. I won celebrity nationals crew for this summer and can't wait to become part of the wonderful family and to create some amazing friends and relationships.

I love this competition. They really do treat everyone like a celebrity :). I am glad to be a part of the senior crew this year for nationals at sea! This is overall my favorite dance competition <3.

We just attended Celebrity Seattle this past weekend. We only took 3 dancers(6 solos). They had a great time!!! The staff is very friendly. Merchandise is great and they had a great $10 bin full of items. Love how they give shirts to all competitors. The event ran smoothly and on time. The awards ceremony is so much fun for the dancers. We are from a small studio, and the amount of hours our dancers receive falls in the middle level for other competitions. Celebrity does not have levels, but we have a few dancers that like to test themselves and choose this competition because they do go against all levels. The judges are very fair. Our girl's age bracket was very big (67 solos), but they held their own!!! Was glad to see they definitely don't just hand out platinums. There were a lot of golds and high golds given, and honestly I was so happy to see my daughter received 2 high golds and even happier when I saw how close to platinums her scores were. Even some of the best studios around were receiving high golds, so I was so proud that our dancers were scoring right with them. Love how they also do a top 3 within each dance style. My daughter placed in the top 3 with both solos in her categories. Love their trophies too! My daughter was just saying today how much fun she had at Celebrity! I also really like how they have a parent login where you can see your child's scores. I wish all competitions had parent logins and it would be awesome if more competitions would show in that login where your child placed, if they didn't place in the overalls. Overall, this competition is one of our favorites for sure!!!Can't wait for their convention in the fall!!!

We just attended our fist competition with them in Oklahoma, and my dancers and I were so impressed. We had no idea a competition could be so well organized and actually run true to the estimated performance times. The staff is amazing! They were eager to help in any way they could, and they made us feel welcomed and loved. They took the time to talk to all my dancers and my coaches. They made us feel important, and like we were apart of the Celebrity family. The judges critiques were not only helpful but also encouraging. The awards were crazy fun. They create such a great energy that my coaches and I couldn't help but have a dance party back stage while the dancers were having a blast on stage. Celebrity is by far our new favorite competition!

Staff is amazing they are all so helpful rather you are needing product, pictures or checking in backstage. I love that no matter what they are always running on time and pretty much to the exact time as what is listed in the program. My son loves the dance down experience and the opportunity to grow as a dancer from the competition. He loves the convention in addition to your staff. You are all a family and it is felt from the time you register until you leave the event. I wish i could give a 10.

Five stars for an amazing performance, customer service and kindness.

Customer service overall performance and organized events

We had our first experience at Celebrity this year and it was super!! My daughter enjoyed and grew from the convention classes as well as from the solo competition. The experience was definitely a 5 star experience! She and her teammates continually talk about it till this day.

My daughter has been attending Celebrity competition for many years, including Nationals at Sea. She has also had the opportunity to attend Celebrity Convention since its first year. I give them 5 stars on both. Competitions are run smoothly and on time, staff is friendly, atmosphere is family-friendly and judging staff are well-qualified and provide excellent feedback. I can\'t speak highly enough of the conventions: EXCEPTIONAL instructors, warm atmosphere, well-organized, and not oversold. Quality of instruction is the emphasis over quantity of attendees. Although there have been hiccups along the growth curve of the convention, any issues have been addressed promptly and professionally. AND (THIS IS HUGE), their administrative staff not only listen to feedback, they personally solicit it. I don\'t mean the blanket email sent after the event to all attendees...I mean personal phone calls and emails to the studio. In general, their organizational staff is the epitome of customer service--from prompt email response prior to and following events, to warm, friendly and professional staff AT events. Again, 5 stars. Every year, I ask my daughter which events she would like to prioritize, and Celebrity competition and convention is on the list every year. We look forward to many more in the years ahead.

Love, Love, Love Celebrity!! The staff is the best!! We always have a great experience at their competitions. I would give them 6 stars if I could!!

This was my daughter\'s first Celebrity convention experience and she absolutely loved it! She\'s been to a few competitions and they are one of our favorites now along with the conventions! Their staff is amazing and professional! The teachers are inspirational!

we totally love to goto celeberty comps.... they getthe kids rockn!!

I absolutely look forward to our Celebrity competition every year! The entire experience is very positive. The judges are encouraging and constructive. The staff is absolutely amazing! I had to go to nationals by myself with my daughter without our whole dance company. The staff knew we were pretty much by ourselves and really made a point to make me, as my daughter\'s mother and dance advocate for her first national competition, very comfortable. The staff even help my daughter get stage ready before her solos. The photography company that does all of the competitions is extremely professional. They are courteous, on task, and provide great service.

Sorry to disagree with these other reviews, but even being very charitable this was not a good competition as far as consistent judging and the production. The people running it were nice, that\'s about it, otherwise low level.

Celebrity is a very fun comp! They have a dance down that is amazing fun!! They offer prizes and scholarships! I can\'t wait for celebrity at Sea nationals this year!!!!! Yup that\'s right their nationals is on a cruise ship!!!

We recently attended The Celebrity Dance Convention in Des Moines, Iowa. I am a new studio and took 6 students, most of which have never had the opportunity to attend a convention and several of which who had only been dancing for under a year. The faculty at this convention were phenomenal. In my 30 years of dancing, I have never seen a better convention. The awards were not just given to your typical, amazing technique, front & center, confident, kind of dancer, but also several awards were given to kids who just never gave up. I am impressed and can not say enough about this convention. We will be attending their convention again next year and hope to compete at one of their events in the future as well. Thank you Celebrity for an amazing weekend and for inspiring my kids!

We have been going to Celebrity Dance Competition regional tour the last 4 years and we absolutely love their competitions. Recently, we attended their convention in Northern CA. They hosted a well organized and oustanding event. The teachers were amazing and very nurturing. The staff was professional and very friendly. The classes weren\'t crowded at all unlike other conventions. They provided lunches for the kids both days which was awesome. Their scholarships were also very generous! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEIR CONVENTIONS.

We have done this competition, and loved it, but this review is on their convention we just attended this weekend in Washington. Absolutely amazing!!! Staff is friendly and helpful. The teachers, choreography, and song choices were wonderful! Love how if you participated in their comp, you receive a discount on their convention. A wonderful hot lunch is included in the price for each day, as well as a celebrity tank top! It\'s not over crowded, as other conventions are, so plenty of room to move. It\'s also a bonus that it\'s held at Great Wolf Lodge! This is our favorite convention!!!

Love this competition! So classy

For the past 10 years, Celebrity Competitions have been my most favorite of competitions to take our daughters to compete in - they truly treat the dancers like celebrities - they will ALWAYS be at the top, in my opinion!! :-)

Love this competition! Definitely my favorite!

Loved the positive dance atmosphere. The whole staff was very supportive yet fun!

Celebrity has been amazing for my son and his growth as a dancer. They are super friendly and give great advice to the kids for pursuing their dreams.

Celebrity is a very professional and organized event that I love attending! The faculty are all very welcoming and they make sure to make a positive and supportive environment for the dancers!

I loved celebrity competition and all the staff working it was great!

Celebrity is an amazing competition/convention that truly treats every celebrity guest/ family like a celebrity. They work so hard to make sure every one has the best possible experience.

I loved everything about it! The faculty and and the people there were amazing!

We LOVE Celebrity!

We travel to Celebrity in Iowa each year and love that we get an on time, fun, family friendly event. We are so excited that Celebrity will have convention in Iowa this year. We know it is going to be amazing like everything they do. Drew and the entire team make us Celebrities!

This is such a well run organization. We have attended conventions, Nationals at Sea as well as Regional Events with Celebrity. They do an amazing job and it is on my dancer\'s list of favorite events to attend. Awards are well run, clear and just the right amount of time. The judging critiques are excellent. Judges don\'t just say what they want to see fixed, they tell you how to fix it. Conventions classes are excellent. We hope there will be a Nationals out of California again next year :)

This is by far the best competition we have ever been to. The staff is amazing and so invested in the event. They make everyone feel so good from the minute you walk in the door. We love the dance down it is a great practice audition for the kids. They always run on time and the energy is so positive. If you have never done a Celebrity Event you need to put it on your schedule you wont be dissapointed.

Celebrity Dance Competitions are the best! We have attended a few in the past. They are very professional and appreciate all the dancers. Would recommend every dance studio to attend at least one of their competitions.

Celebrity Dance Competitions are the best! We have attended these competitions/conventions for many years. They impressed me from the beginning with how personable they were. The entire faculty is so approachable. The judges actually greet people when the facility doors open up just before competition starts. I\'ve never seen another competition do this! They always seem to run on time, their awards ceremonies are fun, smooth, and easy to follow (And they don\'t last forever, either). My girls have had the honor of being chosen for both Junior and Senior Crew. This opportunity to dance at Nationals with their faculty and other crew members is so special. They get amazing training, and always have a good time with this group of amazing people. The conventions they have are also top notch. Faculty teach great classes and make every dancer feel welcome. I feel blessed that my girls have grown as dancers over the years by attending Celebrity conventions/competitions. Always great feedback, too, from their judges on each performance! Thank you, Thank you for all that you do for our dancers!

I love celebrity!!! The staff is amazing and so nice and they always make sure everyone is having fun. This competition always makes me feel like a celebrity ;) This past year was my third year competing at Celebrity and it is still one of the best competitions I have been to. The atmosphere is so friendly and the staff always wants you to succeed. I am so excited to be apart of the Celebrity Crew this year and for nationals at sea!!!

Our daughter had another amazing experience at Celebrity this year, this is her second year as a Dance Troupe member. The dancers are challenged to be their best amidst an atmosphere that is bigger than a \"dance competition\", as an observer it really felt like we were among a celebration of dance for all. From the support staff to the judges services was A+. Acknowledgement and praise was sincere. t is one thing when Mom and Dad give you praise, quite another to hear it from another accomplished dancer. I observe when we are Celebrity that all staff are there for the dancers (and families), you share the passion with them, you have fun with them, you support them and you also take the time to give them genuine feedback to be the best they can be. The dance off is also super fun and challenging for them. I like how you create a balance of \"these are just kids\" with \"keeping it real\" for what this type of experience really is for a professional dancer. Great stuff. As a former event planner I know the dancers do not see the “behind the scenes” stuff like set-ups until 1:00 a.m. or the last minute nonfunctional sound systems or working with the flu or a broken foot or the “challenging Moms and Dads”. I know it is not all glamour and lights for the Celebrity crew yet they make it seem flawless. Judging wise.... I think they have high expectations for the dancers yet also make sure every dancer has fun. Most important!!! Things ran on time too

I really love the Celebrity Dance Competition! Drew and the rest of the staff are very nice and always accommodating! If we ever needed anything they were also easy to find! We did their regional and national competition 2 years ago and just did their convention And regional competition in Dallas for 2015-2016 and I think it\'s even better now! Everything ran on schedule and was well organized! The Celebrity tanks they give to all the dancers are a very nice touch. The judging seemed fair and constant and lots of awards were given. And we all especially love doing the Celebrity Strut before the awards ceremonies! We can\'t wait to cruise with them next summer for nationals!

Our first experience with Celebrity was awesome. Had a great time, everything was professional and smooth. My dancer loved it.

We just finished the Celebrity Dallas competition. This was our fourth Celebrity event including two regional competitions, one Nationals at Sea, and one convention. My kids have loved every one of them. They love the free t-shirts and the fun, high energy award ceremonies where they get to walk on the red carpet like a real celebrity. I like the extremely friendly and helpful staff. I also like that they have several age categories so that young, less experienced dancers aren\'t competing against much better dancers who are a few years older. The competition was usually on time or not very far off schedule. I also like that they only have top 3 overall winners for each age and dance size. I don\'t like the comps where they announce and line up top 10 overall winners, especially when there are barely even 10 dances total!. That makes the awards take so much longer. Drew and his staff are amazing and put on a very organized and well run competition. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

We\'ve been to many competitions in he last few years and Celebrity is my favorite. They are professional and everything runs so smoothly. Mr. Drew is great with the kids and they all love him.

We had an amazing time..this was my twin daughters first time competing a trio and 2nd time in a group routine.. They did great and I am very happy with their scores!!! I love the awards ceremony and how fun it is for all of the dancers. We will be back for sure!!! Thanks for having us

Not enough stars

I love Drew and the staff also the competitions!!!!!!!

This comp is great, high energy, very supportive and encouraging. We had issues with the stage floor, you had to change in one building and walk outside to the get to the performance area and it was raining. Many of the competitors were walking in puddles in their dance shoes and then tracking water onto the dance floor. During my daughters solo, which she dances barefoot, she hit one of these puddles and slipped. She recovered but it could have been much worse. When we told the stage manager they said ok, but I never saw anyone check the floor. There were also times that hair pieces, feathers, etc. were still onstage when they started the next number. They need to be more vigilant in making sure that the floor is clear and dry so that no one gets hurt. Awards are very long and hard to follow.

We have attended the Great Wolf Celebrity Convention and competitions for years. They always run on time, feedback is useful and scoring fair. We have delevoped lasting relationships with the staff because, well, they are adorable and put their everything into their work. It is a family friendly environment. Highly recommend to those looking for an inclusive, friendly and entertaining dance community. Seattle has some serious talent in attendance so start rehearsing now!

We attended Celebrity in SeaTac this weekend. We loved the convention, so wanted to try the comp. We only took 4 solos. The girls had a great time! Staff was very fruendly, the event was very organized and also ran a tad early. The awards ceremony was lots of fun. Love that they give free tanks! My only issue is I don\'t like how they don\'t have categories for different levels of dance. The categories were huge! 53 in 9/10 year Olds and 45 in 11/12. It\'s not fair to have dancers that have small amounts of classes up against those that get tons of training. I also find it weird how we had 4 dancers in 3 different styles of dance getting the exact same scores. But, overallike we really enjoyed this event and will be back next year and also attending convention again :-)! Yes, I\'m referring to overalls. 53 is a lot

The kids absolutely loved this competition! Celebrity makes competitions FUN! Each dancer receives a free bling-ed tank top. Awards ceremonies are made special by up-beat music, shooting confetti, and winners get to walk to pink carpet! The swag is very stylish and different than the usual garb. I have two minor complaints: First, our competition ran very late (midnight) and the girls had to return very early (7am) this made for an exhausting weekend for my 12 year-old. Second, the judges didn\'t seem to acknowledge dances that were technically difficult or outstandingly executed. However, I\'ve never agreed with every judging decision at any competition. All in all, it was a fun experience & I would like to return again.

This company goes above and beyond EVERY YEAR. It is consistently THE competition the kids at my studio love the most. They don\'t always win, but it doesn\'t matter. The staff and the judges truly do make them feel like \"celebrities\" :-)
