STUDIO OF EXCELLENCE AWARD
At Dancers Inc. we believe that how you present yourself off stage is just as important as your performance on stage. The ADCC award goes beyond scoring and stage performance and is chosen based on the character of the studio off stage. This award is chosen by the Dancers Inc. staff that you have been working with throughout the week.
DARE TO WEAR THE CROWN!
Having a title program like no other competition, Dancers Inc. prides itself on having title winners that carry into the industry, more than just a crown. Dancers Inc. titleists will tour with our competitions and conventions and learn the ins and outs of the competition world.
