COMPETITION DETAIL

We had an absolute great time here at DCE nationals. All the staff is so friendly and helpful. I love the small details that DCE incorporates in every aspect of their competition. No corners are cut! We highly recommend DCE….

This was a wonderful competition. Very professional and well ran. We loved the onstage meet the judges and warm up. I felt this competition was very fair. The only reason for the 4 stars in awards is because the competition forgot to call one of the dancers. At the end of the day we are all human.

Great competition with highly talented dance teams, competing in all facets of dance. Also the solo ‘Own the Throne’ dances were highly expressive and technically challenging; true talent was displayed on stage.

This event was hosted at our local high school, so we couldn't pass it up! We had originally participated in a Dance Champs event before the pandemic in a city about 90 minutes away, so this was super convenient for us. The dressing room was the cafeteria and it was made into separate areas for the studios and the competition set up a table for dancers with much needed accessories for hair and hygiene and snacks and water. Loved this touch! Check in went super smooth with the concierge and the shirts and swag they set up for sale were super cute! The competition was super organized and also helped out with a couple "glitches" we ran into- one costume malfunction and one music track that wouldn't play. The backstage staff were great, made the kids feel comfortable and kept everyone organized as well. When the day began, the judges met the dancers on stage and introduced themselves and then the dancers received a warmup and stretch and some across the floor progressions before getting ready to perform. Awards were given at the end of the competition, and they really kept it going without the need to keep advertising nationals or sponsors. Title was done in all 3 levels of competition and dancers were given the option of introducing themselves on stage with a mic, or answering a question. The highest scoring routines of 12 and under and 13 and over were given tiaras as well. To say this competition makes you feel like royalty is an understatement. If you have not tried this competition yet, you won't be sorry if you do. Dance Champs Elite gets a 10 out of 10 stars from me.

Dance Champs Elite has always been one of my favorite competitions! Never have had a bad experience with them, Dance Champs is definitely the “royal experience” and nothing less!!

This is such an amazing competition. The staff is sooo incredible. We’re definitely coming back to this competition. Nice people everywhere
