Leap! National Dance Competition Judges are combinations of championship caliber competition studio directors, teachers affiliated with major dance studios, and currently performing dance professionals. First and foremost, these Judges are all well trained in multiple genres of dance and are sensitive to the various skill levels represented by the dancers' differing ages. This mixture of age, breadth of dance experience, and extensive background in performing arts contributes to the diverse range of feedback Judges can offer all our competitors.
LEAP! FOR THE STARS COMPETITION
Leap! is excited to be the first competition in the industry to host a Leaping! COMPETITION at each regional event!
The Leap! competition is open to every registered dancer! It's split into 2 different divisions: ages 11 and under and 12 to 19 (Ages as of January 1st). The cost is just $10.00 at the event (Sign up at the Leap! Registration/Merchandise Booth). Each contestant will be allowed 2 attempts at impressing the Leap! Judges with their best leaps.
