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.
