Dance Competitions are for line dancers, couples, dance teams and choreographers and are held concurrently to the workshops.  Line Dance names will be announced in March 2025.  Couples dances are 2-Step, Waltz, East Coast Swing, West Coast Swing and Country Swing.  Dancers may enter one or more of the dances.  No prior dance competition experience is required.   Dancers can enter multiple competition categories.  We encourage line dancers to compete in couples and couples to compete in line dancing and everyone to compete with a dance team in the dance team competition plus create an original choreography line or partner dance.
