COMPETITION DETAIL

We absolutely love Fly! Our studio has been attending for the past few years and appreciate the positive competition environment. The judges provide helpful and supportive feedback and we have always left the events feeling happy and proud.

We have been to many Fly Dance competitions. Every one of them was a wonderful experience. The Judges are always kind to the girls and fair in judgement. Fly Competitions have been one of our favorites to go to.

We absolutely love FLY! We have attended 8 events, including multiple regionals and nationals. Our dancers have had wonderful success and truly enjoy the improv contest, and all of the extra amazing opportunities this competition gives our dancers!

This is our first time at Fly Nationals (we were at Fly Regionals earlier this year). The themes are super fun and the organization of how the performances are done flow nicely (especially for us first timers). It’s not an overwhelming large event compared to others we have been to which is also nice. I just wish communication would be a little more quicker with families. (Minor detail). Fun event!

We were invited to come and perform today! The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The event is very clean as well!

Our studio got invited to come to this competition from a regional competition. We absolutely loved all the judges feedback and our very excited to come back to perform. Everything was very organized and professional .

We have been coming to this competition since it first started and we love it and love the people! Our favorite competition of the year and we do Natanionals as well! Let's go Reflections Dance Center!!

Fly has always been our favorite competition! It’s fun for everyone! ☺️ The judges, announcer and all staff are always so friendly and welcoming! We never miss to come to fly! One of the best for sure! ✨✨

Fly National is always a fun and energetic experience. We love attending fly the employees are so nice and the competition is fierce. Fly Nationals does an excellent job with all the things they do here in Las Vegas, NV

This is our 3rd year at Fly! We’re live this competition so much our girls love doing regionals and nationals! We’re so excited for the pajama party!! Go Fly!

Thank you so much for a beautiful experience. This was our first time and every person we met offered us a lot of love. We will definitely share the news and be back next year

We competed at Fly in Savannah as our first competition of the season. Everything was organized and the staff was very knowledgeable and nice. We are planning to attend their nationals with our full team because it was such a great experience.

My daughter did your competition for the first time this season, and had an absolute blast! She can’t stop raving about it! Thank you for giving her such a fun time.

Elyzabeth bad an absolute blast during regional. She got 1st place and 1st overall. They made her feel special even though she was the only one in the category. They are a pretty small comp but they are very kind to every kid.

Our Team “LOVED” Fly Dance!!! The staff members are friendly and the director is very professional to make sure everything runs smoothly and make sure everyone is taken care of. All announcement clearly, ensuring that all participants and their families could fully enjoy and understand the award moment. The judge's notes are fantastic and encouraging. Our dancers are look forward to dancing at Fly at Nationals. It is truly one of our favorite competitions!

LOVE FLY DANCE My daughter has danced at 3 regional and 2 national fly dance competitions and loved each one! Everything about this competition is top of the line, from the staff to the beautiful stage. Not to mention they have the best merchandise of any comp we have been to. We look forward to dancing at Fly every year! Thank you to the amazing judges, director, and everyone making this competition a huge success every time!

Very organized and the dressing rooms are set up nicely, wish there was more seating in the ballroom area

We LOVE Fly! The judge's notes are fantastic, the atmosphere at the competition is positive, and I LOVE the fast, detailed communication I receive as the studio owner.

Fly dance competion was a smooth on time competion. My daughter enjoyed atmosphere. It was very organized and lots of fun

I enjoyed this location. The judges are fair. The atmosphere is high energy and the dances are fun to watch.

This competition was very different and unique. I loved the atmosphere and the levels of dance were very good. I would defiantly come back for another year! I would suggest more merch for next year!

Fly was a fun dance competition. Their WiFi was down so was a little confused on how to sign up for improv but found the sign up sheet and was able to sign up! Fun location and easy to get to.

This was our 2nd year at this competition and we have really enjoyed it. It ran on time, had a great selection of merchandise and all of the staff were friendly and helpful. Looking forward to returning in the future!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently had the pleasure of attending the Fly Dance Competition, and I can’t say enough wonderful things about the event! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the beautifully selected venue, which provided an inviting atmosphere while accommodating a large number of participants and spectators comfortably. The dressing rooms were spacious and well-maintained, offering ample space for dancers to prepare and showcase their routines. It was clear that a lot of thought had gone into creating a supportive environment for the competitors. A special mention goes to the staff, who were extraordinarily kind and helpful throughout the entire event. Their friendly demeanor and willingness to assist made our experience even more enjoyable, and you could tell they truly care about the dancers and their families. One of the standout features of the competition was the awards presentation. It was organized seamlessly, and we appreciated how easy it was to hear every announcement clearly, ensuring that all participants and their families could fully enjoy this celebratory moment. Overall, Fly Dance Competition exceeded our expectations, and we’re already looking forward to next year’s event. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a wonderful dance competition experience!

Thank you for the experience. We really enjoyed this competition and the staff was so helpful. Our kids really enjoyed it and can’t wait to attend again!

This is our 4th year with Fly and we absolutely love them! Their judging is always fair and the competitions always run on time. I have just seen the 2026 schedule and can’t wait to join them for a 5th year!

I've been competing at Fly for three years now as one of my extra Competitions. I just do my Solos and I absolutely love it. It is one of my favorite Comps each season. They run it on time, it's well organized and the Flight Crew is always so nice to me! The venue this year was not great, but it was out of their control. They have done a great job at remedying the situation. I'm hoping they can book a Maryland venue next year. Thank you, Fly!

Fly was the best competition! We had an amazing time. They had the best energy and so many awards! We can’t wait to be back!

They were so much fun and made my whole studio feel so welcome. They gave us so many opportunities to express how we felt and made sure that all ages had fun. Thank you so much for giving us suck an amazing experience.

This is a great competition! I love how everything is based off of the airport! Great judges and love the improve and title! Would loved to have gotten the schedule a little earlier though.

Thank you for the excellent comp. Whole boys dressing room. Running onetime. Affordable improve and title

We are so glad our studio got in on short notice! They have such a fun theme, and everyone I talked to was positive. :-)

Amazing environment and the staff was amazing! Such a great way to start off the competition season!

Fly was such a good atmosphere, the Colorado competition was smaller with not many studios but it was great for our first competition of the season, I was a dancer and a coach of a younger team and we all enjoyed it and had so much fun!

We loved the fly dance competition! Great judges, high energy, very organized. Love the improv options that give kids a chance to be creative!

Fly has been so accommodating and kind with schedule changes. Fly has been so encouraging to all the dancers. We love going back to Fly every year!

One of the most welcoming competitions we’ve been to. Kids at all levels feel appreciated. They also do a great job at staying on schedule- a big win for all the parents!

My kid is having a ton of fun! The competition is well organized and moving quickly which is great with little ones.

Fly was so well organized. The commentators were great. Venue was laid out nicely. Everyone was so friendly! We are so excited for a tap judge!

Had a real nice time at Fly in Youngstown. We will be back. We attend Fly every year

Top talent on the stage! High energy!

Best competition this year. I’m having so much fun. The vendors have so much cool stuff. The stage present is amazing and the location. #letsgoflydancecimoetition

We had the best experience at Fly Youngstown this weekend! Super well organized and such amazing staff! We will be back!

First time we have done Fly and it was an amazing experience. The competition was smoothly run and the staff was upbeat, helpful and kind.

I’m a dance mom who’s a former dancer and I’ve been in this industry a long time. There were so many things wrong at the Fly competition we went to, it’d be hard to name them all, so I’m just gonna share the one thing that’s inexcusable. I was backstage with my dancer fixing a costume malfunction and walked up behind a guy who was on a laptop CHANGING SCORES! I stood there for a minute just baffled and he did it to three other routines! I know what their program looks like because I judged for a comp a few years ago that used the same program. I left it alone because one session already did awards and after seeing him change more than one score, I’m sure he changed scores there too. Why have judges if you’re just going to fudge the numbers? How is this justifiable? This same guy was seen walking around through the day, not watching dances. Then he went on stage and did the most rushed and boring awards ever. The awards coordinators tried signaling him to slow down but he was in his own world. It wasn’t until our next comp practice that I found out the guy is the OWNER and he has ZERO dance experience! I’m sorry. WHAT!? Needless to say, we won’t be back. And maybe it’s just me being jaded, but does anyone honestly believe that all of these 5 star reviews are actually written by parents, dancers, or SOs? Yeah, me neither. He fudges scores, so writing fake reviews definitely isn’t below him.

My Mom and I absolutely love Fly Dance Competition because as a young dancer, Fly has given me opportunities that most competitions don’t offer. For my level of dance they offer a Regional Title Competition and a National Title Competition. You have the option to participate in the opening number of their Turbulence Showdown at Nationals, which is a huge honor, especially for someone who’s in the First Time Flyer division. At Fly Dance Competition everything is based around their flying theme. Which is so cool! If the dancer is in the Novice Level, at Fly they are known as First Time Flyers, Intermediate Dancers are Business Class, and Advanced Dancers are First Class Flyers! Even their awards ceremony is based off their theme as well. They also offer amazing workshop classes and a super fun Improv Competition. At Fly they recognize no matter if you’re a First Time Flyer or a First Class dancer, we all put in the same amount of hard work and dedication. They give us all fair opportunities to succeed in the dance world.

We LOVE fly! The competition is extremely well run! We love the awards and dancing even got to learn a line dance from the staff! To add on to that the staff is so welcoming and is so helpful if any issues! Not to mention extremely kind, the judges are extremely fair and give amazing feed back especially love Ms. Harper! The floor and back drop are very nice and good quality! One of our favorite competitions since covid!!

Fly has historically been a hot mess for many. But we were left disappointed and frustrated. Regionals was a mess- tons of issues with their sound, forgetting to give awards, mixing stuff up. The MC was treating it like her own personal comedy show and every single time someone got a Million MIler, she made obnoxious airplane noises that drove everyone in the audience insane (maybe that was the point?) Nationals was a let down. First, one of the judges/the teacher for the master class was stuck at the airport trying to rent a car. They had to combine the teens and juniors/minis for the first class (1pm-2:15pm). The second class was supposed to be from 2:30-3:30, where they would be properly split up. The teens then left to do their second master class, while the 11 and under kiddos sat around having ZERO update or idea what was going on from 2:15-3:45. Studio owners/teachers were trying to track someone down to figure things out rather than Fly coming and communicating, or just combining the classes. They sat around doing nothing, the teacher suddenly showed up and they did a very rushed class from 3:45-4:30. The opening number rehearsal was supposed to be from 4:00pm-6:30pm but they pushed it back to 4:30, so kids who didn’t opt to do master classes had to wait to start the opening number, and the kids had no break between the master class and opening number. No compensation was offered. There was not a lot of diversity chosen for the Turbulence Showdown (some studios didn’t get routines chosen at all, while others had a lot of routines and were basically competing against themselves). They had routines with the exact same kids in both placing in overalls (usually only the highest scoring can place in overalls if it’s the same exact kids). Every Title winner was already the 1st Overall and the MC would literally say “Okay let’s do this again except with a crown!” When honoring them. What in the point of Title if you’re just going to give it to who got 1st Overall? For a Nationals event we expected so much more. They had a PJ party Thursday night and that was the only “special”/different thing besides the Turbulence Showdown and the master classes you pay extra for. Other than that, it’s the same as regionals. Bottom line is- there are better comps out there that provide a more diverse, fun, and organized experience for Nationals. Spend your money with them. Also do some research in the various FB groups to read other experiences— especially from past employees/judges/etc— who will never work with Fly again because of the way they run the business.

Thanks for a great Nationals in Seattle. Everyone with Fly Dance was so positive and supportive. My daughter is beyond shy and the love she received was amazing. My daughter loved her classes and fell in love with her very first opening number routine. She loved the energy of the judges and felt so confident in class and on stage. We can’t wait to Fly again next year.

This is our daughters first year of dance competition and our experience has been incredible. The Fly Dance judges are so positive and welcoming and all of the dancers have such a positive attitude. We love the Fly Dance atmosphere and are honored to be part of Nationals.

In the heart of Tacoma the Fly Dance competion was held with such professionalism, in a a spectacular venue that had an amazing stage setup. The schedule was right on time and information communicated out was in line with the event.

We love attending Fly Competitions. It's one of our most favorites!!!

The competition was so well organized and such fun staff!!

Such a fun competition to be at!! Love the staff!

This competition was amazing! Loved the hard working staff

This is our first Nationals with Fly! Classes and show rehearsals have been intimate and so positive! We will be back!

The experience so far has been very positive. The staff are helpful and informative, the classes are fun, and they truly care about the dancers. We’ve been to a number of competitions and conventions, and Fly is definitely one of the BEST!

We love this competition and all it has to offer!

What a great comp we love bringing our studio here!

Very inclusive and fun awards.

We love Fly! This is one of my favorite competitions to compete at!

Coming with my daughter as an independent entry was hard and we were all alone but all the staff was so welcoming and amazing to work with and even went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable and less nervous since she was there by herself sometimes it can get a little overwhelming and lonely especially also taking convention classes.

Friendly and great pacing.

Wonderful event! Daughter had so much fun!

Great competition! Great time!

Would rather a Nationals competition be held somewhere more accommodating than a high school

Fasten your seatbelts for a high-flying spectacle that will leave you soaring! This dance competition truly took off, with performers executing gravity-defying moves that had the audience's spirits in full ascent. From the moment of takeoff, it was clear we were in for a first-class experience, with routines so smooth they seemed to glide effortlessly across the stage. By the time this aerial showcase touched down, there was no doubt that these talented dancers had truly earned their wings.

Amazing venue, instructors and experience with Fly Dance Competition !!

This is my first time with this competition for Nationals and I just love the energy the staff, the judges, the backstage crew— everyone brings it and makes this event about the kids and how hard they have worked. The events they host bring all of the studios together and i have made so many new friends. The master classes were probably my favourite part of the whole weekend!

This is our first Nationals competition and I can’t even begin to explain how great Fly has been. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. The Fly National Competition is second to none when it comes to an incredible experience both for dancers and parents!

Amazing staff! Very organized and this is the third fly dance comp. Love it every time!

We love coming to Fly! It is a fun atmosphere and we have enjoyed the locations they have chosen. The awards are always fun to watch! All of the staff have been wonderful when we have had questions or even buying gear at the merch tables. We are exited to be here!

We love Fly! Staff was great and venue was nice. Great weekend.

We love Fly! At nationals right now and everything is awesome as always. We look forward to everytime we get to go to a Fly comp!

Our family loves Fly. They have always done a fantastic job with our dancers.

Love it

We love FLY!

This is the worst competition we have been to in 10 years of competitive dance. We attend at least 6 competitions a year. They say they have a tap judge? Just because you can do a few tap moves, doesn’t make you a judge. Our teachers wouldn’t even let us listen to the judge’s comments because they said there was no point. Fly Competition thinks they know a dancers level from the 2-3 minutes they see them on stage and the number of dances they are in. Our studio will try and put the dancers in as many dances in their level as the parents request. So the number of dances a child is in has nothing to do with the ability of the dancers, but Fly thinks so. There was an AMAZING dancer with elite capabilities in turns, leaps, and other techniques. This dancer had 3 solos, but was allowed to remain in the primary or intermediate division and of course took 1st. There were songs with the n- word and other vulgar language and still placed in the overalls just because it was a hip hop number. There were highly suggestive dances with inappropriate costumes that did not get disqualified and placed in the overalls. We have attended Fly for 2 regionals and a national in Las Vegas and it didn’t get better. Three strikes, we are done. Don’t bother paying cash for title because they will forget to call your dancer and since it was cash there is no way to get your refund. The ninth place banner was spelled incorrectly ALL 3 TIMES WE ATTENDED. Our dancers and parents didn’t want to even attend this year, but our studio wanted to give them another chance. Please read all the comments about this competition. The staff rude to the dancers. I could keep going, but if you got this far you get the point. I will say the awards are cute.

Amazing dancers, judges and staff. Everyone was very helpful and made the experience great!

Great variety of dances and a great atmosphere!
