THE HD EXPERIENCE

– IMPROV COMPETITION –

HD values the importance of a dancer being comfortable in their own skin and understands that improv is a huge part of auditions, master classes and conventions. The competition is held in two age divisions: 12 & Under (6-12) and 13 & Over (13-18). The entry fee is $30 and dancers may register onsite at the merchandise table.

Come share the dance floor with your peers while raising money for a great cause. HD Dance donates $1 dollar for every dancer registered to Honoring Sandrino’s Sacrifice Fund.

We hit play…you leave it on the dance floor!

– PERFORMER OF THE YEAR TITLE COMPETITION –

Our Performer of the Year Competition is HD’s version of a title event and the most prestigious solo dancer award! The competition is held in two age divisions: 12 & Under and 13 & Over. Dancers are scored on their selected solo in addition to a platform piece and interview question. Solo adjudications will be announced during each regionals awards ceremony and the dancers will perform their POY solo (platform piece) to qualify. At the end of the season, we will announce the two winners with the highest total score virtually!

Note: POY solos (platform pieces) and interviews will not be adjudicated or included in overalls at regionals.

What is a platform piece…great question! HD wants their performers to choose a cause/topic that they are passionate about and want to bring awareness to on HD’s stage. Upon registration, directors will register dancer for their chosen solo as well as their Performer of the Year (Platform Piece). If a dancer is registered for multiple solos, please make sure to indicate which solo should be tabulated for the POY Competition under the ‘Notes’ section within the solo entry fields.

Each dancer will perform their solo (3 min. max) in addition to their platform piece solo (1 min. 30 sec. max) and interview. The platform piece is an additional choreographed short solo that the dancer feels best embodies their platform. Please keep in mind that there must be at least five dancers registered in a given division for the competition to take place at a regionals.

We ask directors and dancers to please be considerate and politically polite to keep this an uplifting event and experience for all.
