Build confidence. Level up your competition dancing.
Join us for a focused half-day intensive designed to sharpen your performance quality, musicality, and partnership skills — and give you the hands-on competition experience you need to thrive in your next Mix & Match.
This workshop is open to all dancers, and no partner is required.

🕐 1:00–2:45PM — Performance, Musicality & Partnership Intensive
A deep dive into what makes your dancing stand out on a crowded competition floor.
We’ll work on:
• Performance presence that reads instantly to judges
• Musicality tools that make you feel creative, playful, and grounded
• Partner connection that stays consistent even in fast switch-ups
• Quality of movement—cleaner basics, balance, elasticity, and clarity
• Strategies for Mix & Match contests, so you know how to show your best self every time

🕒 3:00–5:00 PM — Full Mix & Match Mock Contest (Prelims + Finals)
A complete competition simulation with real-time feedback.
You’ll experience:
✨ Preliminary rounds with typical tempos and music you would experience with an audience
✨ Finals format, including solo spotlight and dual spotlight formats
✨ Coaching between rounds to help you adjust and immediately improve
✨ What judges actually look for, so you can see your dancing through their eyes
By the end, you’ll know exactly how to prepare, what to practice next, and how to bring your strongest, most artistic dancing to every Mix & Match.

This training is designed to help you grow quickly, perform confidently, and walk into your next competition feeling ready, supported, and inspired.
