Two-day convention with all-star faculty from Los Angeles & NYC. The Elite team will choose between this event (Buffalo or CT) or Revel — this season is about challenging ourselves with a convention / competition weekend!
Buffalo, NY or Connecticut — TBD
The best media in the business — known across the country as one of the very best competitions. Challenging and rewarding; our entire competition team attends.
A beautifully inspiring event full of hope and love — special awards and scholarships, and a blast from start to finish. Our entire competition team attends.
Syracuse, NY
A full weekend of dancing for the Sr & Jr Elite groups and soloists. They're sold out but will accommodate us — a decision with NUVO / Ovation is coming soon.
Rochester Riverside Convention Center
Our backup plan — we won the ultimate prize last season, so this one is on the books just in case any mandatory events fall through. We will attend three mandatory competitions this season.
New for us this season — more info to come…
Geneva, NY
Compete Friday through Sunday at a super-fun competition — the audio / visual effects on stage are truly state of the art, and the judges love technical. Bring your best selves! Last season we won Best Performance with Wild Birds and landed in the Video Vault.
