DIVERSE FOUR-JUDGE PANEL: staffed with a combination of in-house DECAdance adjudicators and pre-screened professional judges from Impact Dance Adjudicators to ensure expertise in every genre - tap, hip hop and acro included
GENRE SPECIFIC ADJUDICATION: proprietary scoring system with weighted technique scores from specialty judge in each genre
LIVE CRITIQUES FOR SOLOISTS: from the specialty judge designated to their genre
SKILL BASED LEVELS: determined by skillset rather than hours in the studio and monitored at each event by a fifth judge
SEASONED ROUTINE MONITOR: a fifth judge to monitor genres and levels and move routines as necessary (yes, we really move routines - with no penalty. This ensures the fairest competition for all, and ensures every dancer receives the best adjudication for them.)
DESIGNATED SPECIALS JUDGE: our Routine Monitor chooses DECA specific awards, FACES OF DECA invitees and crafts unique Specials on site for each event
O’MARA SPRUNG BIRCHWOOD FLOOR: returning energy and momentum to dancers all day to promote safety and whole body health (and allowing tap dance to be heard the way it's meant to be!)
COMPLIMENTARY MEALS + STUDIO STAFF AREA: Every competition event includes a designated space for teachers and studio owners to regroup and recharge. We provide real meals for teachers and studio owners the same way we feed our team! The teacher and studio owner space always contains coffee, water, drinks and grab 'n' go snacks. Healthy dance educators make for healthier communities and this is our way of thanking you for your constant dedication and support of all our DECAdancers.

Our goal with DECAdance Nationals? To get attending dancers in front of as many educators as possible!
We provide customized in-studio educational events that can include everything from ballet to Bollywood! Prepare for Nationals with a customized cleaning package that backs up the teachers while the dancers apply judges feedback in real time. Or host a studio-specific convention with our seasoned specialty educators who can provide very specific technique classes for acro contortion, several different styles of hip hop, tap dance and music theory or even musical theater (with singing!)
Past events have even included a mock competition with live critiques for every piece, including groups; mock auditions with specialized feedback, and genre-specific masterclasses!
