MAKE THE MOST OF LEAP
What shouldn’t my dancers miss?
There’s more to a LEAP weekend than competing your routines. Discover the experiences, recognition, and opportunities that make LEAP feel like LEAP—from LEAP For The Stars to Title, scholarships, Team LEAP, and more. Current materials specifically identify LEAP For The Stars as an at-event leaping competition and connect certain LEAP-level soloists and Title contestants with Team LEAP opportunities at National Finals.
