This competition offers every participant a chance to shine at their own stage of growth. Choose the category that matches your goals and use this opportunity to expand your potential.

A Competition Where You Can Choose the Category That Fits Your Purpose

A. Pre-Competition Assigned Choreography Division

The A Division is designed for dancers who are seriously preparing for competitions and those who wish to receive advice and feedback from judges.

B. Pre-Competition Free Variation Division

Like the A Division, this category is intended for dancers preparing seriously for competitions and for those seeking professional feedback from judges.

C. Classical Competition Division

Participants in the Classical Competition Division may perform a free variation. Scores, evaluations, and rankings will be given. There are no preliminary or final rounds; evaluation is based on a single performance.

This is not just a place to compete. It is a bridge to the future that values each dancer’s dreams and growth.
