By far our favorite!! This competition and convention are so much fun! My daughter has been fortunate to have qualified and competed for Dancer of the Year the past two years and this alone has been a great experience for her. Based on the scoring, she knows it's going to be tough, but this is what she loves because it pushes her to work that much harder. She knows the best of the best will be there and sets goals for herself! She has made so many friendships but at the same time learned so many things that will stay with her as she continues to grow as a dancer. The Master Classes and teachers are simply amazing and so much fun!!! The last couple of years we have went to the Awards in Vegas and have had the best time. The venue is perfect in size with so much room to accommodate for the size of t he event. I love that they keep the dancers busy and give them so many opportunities! We hope to be able to attend for the years to come.
Loved this event last year and can't wait to go back this year in Vegas.
Both of my kids had a great experience at the Orlando Dance Awards in 2016. The master classes were awesome! The Best Dancer competition was well run and very competitive. My son had the opportunity to compete and do the workshop, while my daughter did the workshop. Both of them were very sad on the last day of the workshop as they did not want it to be over. Than you!
By far, one of the BEST dance competitions, conventions and experiences! If there is one dance convention not to be missed, it is this one. My daughter attended the Las Vegas Nationals in 2014 and 2015 as a Best dancer finalist and loved everything from the classes, the faculty and simply being in awe of all the surrounding talent. The instructors are the best of the best and current big names in the industry and they all truly connect with the kids and are truly invested in leaving everyone inspired. The schedule is jam packed so be prepared for A LOT of dance, but all completely worth it.
Have attended the past 3 years. Excellent nationals - hopefully can return this year! Wish it was still in NYC though!
Amazing experience! It was worth the price of travel. Convention was excellent!
BOTH CONVENTION & COMPETITION WERE AMAZING SO GLAD TO EXPERIENCE !!!
The experience of a lifetime! Me & my dancer\'s 1st trip to a Nationals. Even though my daughter\'s company team did not compete, it was worth going for the classes & to cheer on our seniors. Great vibe from everyone, but I expected nothing less from my hometown!!!
The most professional Nationals in the country. Everyone who\'s anyone competes there (Sophia Lucia, Brynn Rumfallo, Kalani Hilliker, Maddie Ziegler, Brady Farrar, Christina Ricucci, Addison Moffett, Simrin Player, Tate McRae, Emma York, Etc etc etc) Definitely the toughest nationals out there, but worth going. Celbrity staff includes Mia Michaels, Nick Lazzarini, Teddy Forance, Francisco Gella, Mandy Moore, Travis Wall, Stacy Tookey, and more. An experience of a lifetime. Amazing, organized, fun competition that all the dancers and parents enjoy. Wonderful week of convention classes. Highly recommend this experience of a lifetime!
Anthony and Mike are the greatest tap teachers of all time! Seriously this is the best dance experience I\'ve ever been a part of.
Just incredible! Twitch is sooooo awesome and every class is great. Really loved that they live stream so people at home can watch.
Classy and professional! Break the floor is easily the best around. The dance awards have been amazing! The talent is ridiculous and it has been an amazing experience for our dancers!!
