While awards are important in acknowledging excellence and helping to delineate the many directions in which our dance form can go it's equally important that we create a supportive and honoring environment for the many dancers who have put so much time and energy into this wonderful art!

Competition Entrant Information
Entrant Fees
NO TROUPE Entry Fees for the competition!!
All participants must pay for at least two workshops instead! Also, all troupe members do not need to purchase a show ticket for themselves.
Categories
All categories are based on size alone. There is the Duet class with two dancers, Small troupe with 3 to 4 dancers, Medium troupe with 5 to 7 dancers and Large troupe with 8 and above. Along with the 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize in each category there is also the Innovator Award given to the most creative troupe, and the Grand Prize winners who have the highest scores overall.
The judges base their scores on three different criteria: Choreographic concepts, technical execution and overall stage presence.
Choreographies
All choregraphies must be original- that is to say created by someone in the troupe or connected to the troupe. Don't use one you learned at a workshop or off of a video or DVD.
Dance Styles
Middle Eastern Dance is what we are
looking for. Fusion styles are welcome but have to be primarily Middle
Eastern based (for example, what we don't want to see mostly Jazz
with one belly roll). If you aren't sure if your choreography would be
acceptable, please contact us.
Time Limits
Duets and small troupes have 5-7 minutes, medium and large troupes have 7-9 minutes. However these are simply guidelines and if you need more time let us know.
