Competitions Competitions

Competitions


Lessons in competitive ballroom dance are a lot of fun, as well as mentally and physically challenging. Competitions are being held year-round, nationally and internationally, and some are even televised.

Competitions all have a different price and fee structure, so contact Azita with pricing questions for our upcoming competitions. For all competitions, a Professional Fee for your instructor will apply, and students are expected to pay their instructors entry into the competition.

We require all students who are planning to compete to register with either USA Dance www.usabda.org or The National Dance Council of America www.ndca.org For more information on these organizations, please visit their websites.
