DANCE COMPETITION
AWARDS & SCHOLARSHIPS
Overall trophies and plaques are presented at the end of each awards session and awarded to the dancers who scored within the top 10 of their age division (Mini, Junior, Teen, and Senior) and level (Performance, Novice, Intermediate, and Competitive).
All Adjudicating Awards will receive a medal
If a contestant performs two solos, only the highest-scoring solo counts for the top overall awards.

​
-
3rd Highest Studio Average: $300
-
2nd Highest Studio Average: $500

COMPETITION RULES
The competition schedule will be released 10 days before the event and is subject to change.
All competition fees must be paid in full before a studio will receive the schedule. Accompanying the release of the tentative schedule will be an email outlining the expectations of our participating studios and deadlines by which requests for modification must be submitted.
​
Performance schedules with approximate times will be made available solely to studio administrators. It is the responsibility of studio personnel to distribute the schedule to their participating dancers, as Movin does not publicly post the schedules of any of our competitions.
Please be prepared to compete 60 minutes prior to your designated performance time. In the event that a studio performs out of order, the affected routine will compete for adjudication only and be ineligible for divisional overall awards. Movin has the intention of running each show on time, if not early, and reserves the right to adjust the schedule in an effort to do so.
