Staff and judges are awesome! DTI really cares about making every dancer feel important. Their Nationals are really great, can\'t wait to go back!! (:
Thank you for your positive review! We look forward to seeing you in Savannah this summer!
Staff was wonderful, but judges seemed to prefer certain studios.
On behalf of Dance Troupe, I apologize that you had a negative experience. We work very hard to be unbiased. When looking through the awards, you can see that one of the smallest studios placed in the top of the competition. You will receive your critiques today and hopefully you will benefit from them. Please email the company and we can further discuss any issues you may have. Thank you for joining us in Daytona Beach and we hope that we may have another opportunity to work with you in the future.
Overall the staff were friendly, prices for vending were fair, and the venue was outstanding. The judging did seem to be in favor of certain studios and when issues that were observed of unsportsmanlike conduct that were reported, the feedback was largely ignored. The sound quality and sound engineering left much to be desired. Dancers from many studios complained about delays in music and feedback. The level of organization seemed to show opportunities for improvement as well. Our children still had fun but our parents did not have the best of times.
Thank you so much for your feedback. On behalf of the entire Dance Troupe staff, we apologize for your negative experience. When problems come about, we do our best to resolve them quietly, so I can understand how you may have felt that it was ignored. Please email dancetroupealexis@gmail.com so that I can further address these issues. Thanks again!
We love this competition. Very positively run. We are looking forward to Nationals in Savannah in July 2016.

Great judges and a family atmosphere! Been to another competition for finals. Nobody treats the dancers and parents better! Kudos to Dean and his staff!
Love Nationals. Our dancers always benefit from the classes and interaction with professionals like the DTI Staff. We will continue to attend!
Review Has Been Locked - 'Multiple Accounts'
Extremely professional! I will be bringing my studio back every year to DTI. My studio has never experienced such great feed back from each judge. The convention classes are taught by working dancers and choreographers working in the industry, which I feel like is so important to my studio. I have nothing but positive things to say about DTI. You are completely missing out if you do not attend this competition and convention.
I absolutely love DTI! Every time that I attend an event it is professional and full of love. The staff and judges truly love what they do and have a passion for their work. Each master class teacher/judge puts great attention to the students\' needs. Feels like a family!!
I LOVE this competition and convention. They recently just hired a new director who is FABULOUS! She is so organized, professional, and truly cares for each dancer that walks through the doors. All of the judges hired were extremely talented and knowledgeable in all genres. Their critiques were very informative as well. I felt like their entire faculty were great role models for my students. I also love how they are accepting of all levels, from beginner to advanced. A very family friendly event that leaves dancers motivated and inspired. I highly recommend Dance Troupe, Inc. to all dancers! We will be back!
The competition was fun, but the feedback from judges was disheartening a few years ago - they called one of our dancer overweight (she clearly is not). The master classes were great
We love Dance Troup! A top notch organization.
Dancers scored well at this competition ,but stage was way to small. Sound system was not great, could not hear announcer very well. Venue was great being attached to the hotel.
Above Average.
Did not enjoy this competition. Most of level 2 danced on a small floor area while younger level 1 danced on the stage. Also some in the same age and level danced on two different days with different judges. All of the dancers need to be on the same playing field.
We competed with them for a first time this year and we will not be back. Disorganized and unfair judging. I normally agree 100% with judges, but while they gave \"ok\" feedback, the scores did not reflect such.
Probably the most disorganized competition I have ever been to. They are NEVER on time, and many dancers have several routines nearly back to back. Unfortunately, there is nothing so special about it that would allow you to overlook the disorganization.
I really enjoyed DTI. The staff is super professional & kind. The judges are well educated & give fantastic, helpful critiques. The competition was on schedule 100% of the time. The main reason I am giving three stars is because I felt that the judging was inconsistent and a bit unfair. I feel like they favored one studio. Overall, m studio & I had a good time.
Great tap judges!
We had a good experience and will most likely attend again next year. The director was very friendly and helpful throughout the day. My students had a good time.
Love the people we deal with...the main "bad" thing is that they don't stay on schedule. We were running 2 hours behind!! Needless to say, it was a LONG day/night!!
