HOLLYWOOD VIBE

Apr 17 2021

This is a cheerleading competition. The contemporary choreographies that win are 90% acro tricks and 10% dance. The lady in the backstage is super rude and couldn’t be worst at making the kids nervous. The ballet class is a contemporary class and not a classic ballet class. They don’t have staff for that and don’t value the dance base. If you are looking for DANCE this is not the competition for you. No levels so advanced and beginners run together. The convention is mandatory because it’s expensive and doesn’t worth it.

If I could rate higher than a 5 star, I would!! This is by far our favorite competition and convention. The staff is top notch!! We have attended 5-6 of the Vibes for the past couple years, in Des Moines, St. Louis, Chicago, Colorado, AZ and California. The classes are fun, challenging and the competition is run smoothly with wonderful judging and critiques! Liz Imperio gives a parent class that has been so helpful and inspiring, I would recommend to any parent! We also have went to Nationals which are just as amazing. They always choose top notch venues that are easy to find in locations that are convenient.

Very disappointed in this event, saw one of the directors screaming at staff when she thought no one could see her... Unprofessional.

I thought this was a great convention. The staff was great, the kids really love the teachers. Now, let me just tell you the best part.....as a parent I am often disappointed in the photos, but Take Creative takes it to a whole new level of awesome. I will be disappointed in every other convention now, just because of how great they are. The pictures are beyond fabulous, they get great shots AND for only a small fee you can have them go in and take pictures of your kid during class. They happen to do my daughter during the audition class and let me say these are the best pictures I have ever seen. Only reason I gave 4 stars is I might have seen a little scholarship/audition bias, but we are attending 2 more cities so the jury is out on that one until I have more experience.

We cannot say enough about Hollywood Vibe. We attend 2-3 every year and always have the best experience no matter where the location. Our kids have gotten to know the staff on a more personal level because of the personal interest they take in the dancers. The teachers are top notch and their master classes challenging, but yet fun!! Liz is such an inspiration to not only the kids, but parents. She is so knowledgeable about the dance world because of her many experiences. We attended Nationals for the first time this past year and had the best time. It overlapped with the Dance Awards, so we had to cut it short and that bummed us out, but we are so glad we went and were able to spend the time we did!!

The judging and scoring is continually biased along with the convention classes. Teachers tended to pick out dancer that they have worked with in the past and even knew by name instead of this that really deserved it. The staff and judges and teachers were amazing and I learned a lot. Although the judges seemed to stay on one topic most of the dance instead of sharing all ideas and critiques.

Not my favorite. Convention room to small. I think winners are somewhat pre-determined based on money they bring in and if repeat attenders. Good instructors though .

Hollywood Vibe has always been one of our favorites! The teachers and master classes are excellent and they really seem to take a personal part in educating the dancers. They are fun and upbeat! We go every year and will continue until my daughter is no longer dancing. Highly recommended!!

We absolutely LOVE Hollywood Vibe! The teachers are fantastic - they teach great technique as well as great life lessons! The event is extremely well organized and starts and finishes on time consistently. My daughter has been on their company for years and has been lucky enough to create life long relationships with many of their faculty! The other great thing - they do NOT let their dance rooms get too crowded. They cut off attendance at a reasonable level so that each dancer can see the teacher easily. Big advantage over other conventions we have attended. They also give out a TON of scholarships making it easier for studios to really benefit from attending. I can\'t say enough good things about Hollywood Vibe and I can\'t wait for their season to begin!

I go to a lot of competition/conventions a year and every year I get so excited to go back to Hollywood Vibe! This competition is by far my favorite. Other conventions are contemporary crazy and only praise contemporary. I love that at Hollywood Vibe there\'s more than just contemporary classes and faculty is well rounded in all styles of dance. The faculty is also super nice and motivational! I love the closing shows, the competition and classes. Hollywood Vibe is overall a great competition/convention to go to.

I would highly recommend Hollywood Vibe Dance Competition/Convention to all dancers at all levels. As a parent I have been going to dance competitions/conventions for 9 years and with that being said my daughter and I love this dance competition/convention. My daughter has been going to Hollywood Vibe since she\'s been 5 years old and we\'ve just completed our 8th year attending Hollywood Vibe Nationals. The faculty that they have is the best in the industry and their classes are amazing. The competition is run very professional and runs smooth and efficient. The convention locations are nice and the convention rooms have plenty of dance space. All of the convention classes are amazing. One of the highlights of the weekend is that they offer a parent meeting on \"How to Guide a Successful Dancer.\" that is free for all parents to attend. I have attended this class and the information that is provided is unbelievable and extremely valuable. Hollywood Vibe has a dance company that they began about four years ago. Selected dancers from regional cities are invited to audition for the company. Dancers who make the company get to work with the dance faculty who are all working dancers in the dance industry. Being on the dance company is an amazing experience for any dancer. Hollywood Vibe company members are not eligible for scholarships and do not perform their solos at any of the regional cities they attend. They are however allowed to perform with their studio in their group numbers and or duo/trios in the state that their studio is located. I have seen several dancers who have been a part of the Hollywood Vibe Dance company and they have grown so much over the course of a year working with the faculty. They also build life time friendships with dancers from all over the country. We will continue to attend Hollywood Vibe and I encourage anyone who has a child that loves dance to attend this fun and amazing convention/competition.

Not a fan. This is the second experience and both were not great. A huge issue both times was simply overcrowding in convention classrooms. Insane. Not conducive to learning. Many teachers seemed very detached from the students. Competition was ok. The final awards show was ridiculous and far too long. Having final auditions on stage is completely unnecessary. The Hotel Murano was awful. The only redeeming thing is a couple of personal staff interactions were good and the restaurant was good. The staff was not prepared for this event, some weren\'t even aware it was happening. Would not recommend Hollywood Vibe.

Recently attended this convention for a 2nd time, it was a major disappointment! The venue chosen in Tacoma, WA was ill equipped to handle an event like this. Room sizes were WAY to small for the amount of kids in the room. In comparison to other conventions I felt like the teachers didn\'t interact with the kids as much and some seem very unapproachable. This was the 1st time our team competed at this convention and it is VERY obvious that HV has favorite studios (especially the studios that have multiple kids on the HV performance company). For the money we pay to enter this competition I felt the awards were pretty lame. Most competitions supply at a minimum pins and most do pins and either a medal or trophy. The only pins given are for solos, no trophies or medals. Plaques are given for overalls, but that\'s it. The kids get laminated cards with pictures of the teachers on them. There isn\'t even an option to purchase pins. The faculty show is entirely too long, at the end of a long weekend the last thing anyone wants to do is sit through a 2 hour show!!

Convention: My kids and their friends liked the convention part of it and most of the instructors. The room was way too crowded and pushy kids. My daughter got kicked in the face because kids would not give here space. She just ended up in the back and could not see. Some of the rooms were not big enough to accommodate all of the kids. I suggest they set up a big screen in all the rooms so all of the kids see the instructors. I paid good money for my kids to learn but instead had to follow the kids in front of them not the instructor. The auditions were a joke because they had already picked the winners during classes. Not a surprised at who won because I stopped by all the rooms and they were preselected. Competition: I Would not let me kids compete at the competition ever again! My daughter was backstage and overheard her competitors say they were nervous to the staff and they said don\'t worry we will make sure you win and they did. This particular duet was in the Teens AND Senior category. How does that work? Not a average if they were the same participants. They also favored the studios with students who were company dancers. Scoring was ridiculous. Nothing positive to say about the competition. Very disappointed and upset I even spent the money for something that was not fair for all!!!

The main reason for 3 stars is the extreme length of the day. For some dancers, the competition will start Friday morning and last all day. For the rest, dancers arrive at 7:30 AM on Saturday, dance til 2:45, compete anywhere from 3:45 til 11:45 PM, then awards start at 11:45 PM (last about 45 minutes). Your first full day is 17 hours long! On Sunday, dancers started class at 8:00AM, having only a few hours of sleep and finish after the very long ending program (which was extremely loud). Even the most fit and mature dancers will have a hard time handling this brutal schedule. It is not realistic. Families with younger dancers will have a very hard time because though they may end a bit earlier, you can\'t leave if you have older girls or want to stay for awards. Our girls did not have a long enough break to leave the venue at all (17 straight hours!). Our venue doesn\'t allow any outside food, therefore, you had to buy the fried concession stand food for lunch or go eat outside. For dinner, concessions stands were closed but the doors all had guards. You either ate in the parking lot, your car or tried to sneak in food to your child that was starving at this point. Pros: the classes were fun, the competition ran on time and the dances were space apart enough to give dancers time to change. This could be a very good convention/competition if they were realistic with their time frames.

The only reason I gave this two stars because of the vendors... Competition/convention schedule is ridiculous: 8am to midnight on Friday alone is reason to skip. Add in selfish, self-absorbed instructors(way too young of a group), studio favorites (many of the winners had members in their \'company\' that forgot the audition combos on stage, and crappy venue choice made for a terrible weekend. Hope we don\'t go back.

Just ok we have been to many conventions and this company definitely seems to favor certain studios and boys just because they are boys. Venue classrooms were way too crowded for observers. Ridiculous to pay $45 for observer band and then have to sit on the floor. Closing show WAY WAY WAY too long and too loud!

MINI workshop review - PROS : Actual Warm - up done at beginning. Kent the Jazz instructor was upbeat and fun and seem to engage well with the kids Caitlyn the Ballet instructor was GREAT - very hands on and not teaching to a combination, but just teaching important points of ballet The room setup had a lot of chairs for observers and there was water in the room Also, there was an actual stage setup which put the Instructors up above so the kids could see - been to other workshops in same exact room with no stage and it\'s hard to see what the teachers are doing. There was an actual audition combo for scholarships to upcoming conventions which was really great experience for younger dancers that are under 7. CONS : room too crowded, should consider limiting registrations or budgeting an increase for additional flooring so the kids have more square footage to dance on. Tap teacher was not good -- kept referring to the children as slugs and the combination he was teaching was WAY way too fast and included technical moves that many kids didn\'t know -- some of the 8 year olds were keeping up, but the younger ones were lost. Jump clicks, Buffaloes etc. outside of the usual first tap class stuff. Also, it\'s impossible to tap on carpet? Many kids checked out during this portion and I don\'t blame them! Pretty bad. Awards and scholarships were given to boys because they are boys, their dancing was definitely sub par to some of the other girls in the room who were overlooked. I would return, it\'s good experience being a longer day for younger dancers leadin in to the longer days they will have as they age into the full weekend conventions. Overall the staff were great with the exception of tap which really didn\'t translate well for such a young audience, kids were 5 to 8.
