COVID UPDATE
We are patiently waiting to see when live events will be possible and will update studios as new information becomes available. We must follow government and venue health and safety guidance which is changing frequently. Events that cannot run live will be run virtually and live streamed in REAL-TIME right from your studio. We appreciate your ongoing support and can’t wait to see you Shine!

We know that things have changed. Let’s build a brighter future together.
SHINE is more than just great competitions; our focus on a holistic approach to dance education provides youth with opportunities to develop and practice skills for life. We are more committed than ever to giving dancers something to look forward to at our events in 2021.

We believe…

Dance education = Skills for Life

Confidence, Resilience, Humility, Grace, Courage, Sportsmanship, Teamwork, Positivity, Integrity and so much more.

Learning should be inclusive, engaging, and FUN!

Levels for all dancers.
Interactive adjudication sessions.
Video Adjudication.
Audience participation

In selecting adjudicators who are role models, mentors & teachers.

Our adjudicators are carefully chosen for their child centered approach to dance education, teaching experience, and desire to nurture and inspire the next generation of performers.

Fair & honest scoring fosters motivation and resilience.

PLATINUM is reserved for only the best performances.
