At True Talent we offer 4 levels of competition! These include Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, and Talent Unlimited.

TALENT UNLIMITED At True Talent, we believe that dance should be an inclusive and welcoming place for everyone, of all abilities. Our Talent Unlimited division is geared toward dancers who have physical, sensory or cognitive challenges.

  • We will work with studio directors to provide a safe space for Talent Unlimited dancers to perform/compete.
  • Dancers registered in the Talent Unlimited division will perform in the Talent Unlimited level for their solo.
  • The Talent Unlimited division will have its own overall category and will still be eligible for special awards as well as judge’s awards.

NOVICE – This level is for non-competitive dancers who have no experience competing.

This dancer has a basic understanding of dance and their routine from choreography, musicality and technical steps but have not quite mastered those skills and can use more time improving in the classroom.

  • NEW: Novice dancers may compete a maximum of 1 solo and no more than 7 dances.
  • The Novice level is eligible for adjudication awards, category placements, high score placement in the Novice division and Judge’s Choice awards.

INTERMEDIATE – This level is for ‘on the rise’ dancers who have 2-3 years of competitive experience.

This dancer has a growing knowledge of dance and their routine from choreography, musicality and technical steps. This dancer understands the fundamentals but are still growing their knowledge of performance and technique.

  • NEW: Intermediate dancers may compete a maximum of 2 Solos and no more than 9 dances.
  • The Intermediate level is eligible for adjudication awards, category placement, high score placement in the Intermediate division, Judge’s Choice awards, Regional Standout Soloist and.

ADVANCED – This Level is for advanced dancers who have 4+ years of competitive experience.

This dancer has a complete understanding of dance and their routine, from choreography, musicality and technical steps. This dancer has a strong knowledge of fundamentals while also using performance, technique and artistry.

  • NEW: Advanced dancers may compete a maximum of 3 Solos and an unlimited number of dances.
  • The Advanced level is eligible for adjudication awards, category placement, high score placement in the Advanced division, Judge’s Choice awards, Triple Threat and True Talent Titles.
  • Advanced Dancers are not allowed to compete in the Novice category.

Three entries, with the same dancers in 3 different categories. (example Mary & Lacy perform 3 duos – ballet, tap & open) This award is determined by combining all three scores. The highest combined score will be crowned a Triple Threat! Advanced dancers in the Junior, Teen, and Senior age divisions are eligible.

Please Note: If you win the Triple Threat Title you are not eligible for the Mr. or Miss Title. 

The dancers are asked to stay on stage following their solo. One of our professional judges will provide live feedback over the microphone to the dancers. All feedback will be presented in a very positive, inspiring and constructive manner. This format allows for an educational experience where the dancers are able to apply their critiques immediately to their next routines with the purpose of improving as the event goes on. Note: the feedback given to the dancers will pertain only to what the dancers have control of such as technique, execution, stage presence etc.

Preliminary schedules will be sent out to studio owners two weeks prior to the event. Final schedules will be available no later than a week before.
