Introducing...
2026 Virtual Finals Round
Streaming May 2026
How to Enter:
Grand Prize:
To enter, register via DanceBug as you would for a regional event and choose Virtual Finals. If you attended a regional event in 2026, you will receive a significant discount on your entries at a price of $40/entry. Your discount will be applied once your initial registration is received. The Top 3 Overall Winners from each of our regional events will be automatically entered at no cost. All other entrants may register via DanceBug. Once you've created an account you will be prompted to upload your performance video. Videos must not contain logos of non-Étoile affiliates.
Format:
The Virtual Finals will be streamed with a live judging panel in an "American Idol"-style format. After each entry, judges will comment and provide their final score. Scoring breakdown will be the same as our regional events. Information on how to view the stream is coming soon...
The highest scoring entry will receive the "Signature Étoile Tutu" designed and custom-made by Florimund's, as well as free entry into our 2027 Regionals. Valued at over $3000!
In the event a group wins top prize, the award would go to the studio. If a male identifying student wins, there is an option to win the "Signature Étoile Tunic."
