Competition Schedule

Below is a list of all Competitions and Conventions on our 2023 schedule. We've indicated which ones are required, which ones are optional, along with details about charges and other pertinent information. We are also providing hotel recommendations. If your dancer is only in one dance, you will only need a hotel for the conventions, however you may want a hotel for competitions even if you only have one dance to avoid leaving your house very early or late. Please note: We do not know performance times until approximately one week before the dates listed below.
