Experience Étoile Dance Competition

Audio/Video Feedback from 3 Esteemed Judges

Our competitions boast three entry levels ranging from beginner to pre-professional. No matter where a dancer is in their training, we will provide valid feedback to help them on their journey.

​

Scores

Our judges will also each provide scores out of 100 points in the areas of artistry, technique, choreography/staging, and overall impression.  See Rules & Regulations for more details.  

​

Morning Masterclasses

Each day of competition begins with a morning masterclass which also serves as a warm-up for stage.  We also offer a choreographic component where dancers learn contemporary choreography to be performed at the culmination of the competition.  We believe that the masterclass and choreography are important aspects of community building as well as an opportunity to learn and hone audition skills.

​

Guest Performances

Select events will have a guest performance from a local professional dance company to open our awards ceremony.  If you know of a professional group that would like to be considered as our opener, please feel free to connect us.​

​

Awards

We hold a brief awards ceremony at the culmination of our events. Awards include the Top 3 Overall Scores, top scores for each age group (highest 20%), special judges awards, and many summer study scholarships and acceptances.  See our partners/sponsors page for examples.
