Stylized: A Dance Competition and Convention For Every Style
Stylized: A Competition and Convention for Every Style
The mission of Stylized is to fill a gap in the dance competition industry. The aim is to look at each style of dance as its own entity. Each style at each competition will have three to four judges that specialize in that style of dance, providing clear feedback and instruction that is specific to the style they are performing. This is pivotal for dancers, teachers and choreographers to continue to learn and grow within these specialized fields.
Coming in late 2026/early 2027, the first year of this event will focus on two styles
Hip-Hop and Tap
Convention
In addition to the competition, all soloist entries will include 3-5 technique focused convention classes for each specific style for dancers to continue to expand their knowledge from experts. Classes may include:
