MOVE! NATIONAL DANCE COMPETITION 2025

Welcome to MOVE! National Dance Competition, where passion, dedication, and artistry take center stage! Our competition is designed to inspire dancers of all levels, providing a fair and encouraging environment that celebrates personal achievement and growth. At the Regional level, every dancer is judged based on their own performance, striving for the highest possible mark without direct comparison to others. This unique system ensures that all competitors earn their status in either Bronze, Silver, or Gold—based on their own merit, setting the stage for an electrifying Nationals where the most outstanding performers will compete for top honors.
