dance competitions
Judged choreography events
Dance competitions are organized events where dancers or dance groups perform before judges who score them on technique, artistry, and execution.
They range from local studio showcases to televised spectacles like Dancing with the Stars.
Competitors may perform solo, in pairs, or as teams across styles—ballet, hip-hop, ballroom, tap.
The competitive circuit is a major part of youth dance culture, with regional events feeding into nationals.
