This web site has been produced to provide a preview of the exciting Spotlight Dance Cup! Our dance competitions are professionally conducted, timely run, and provide a comfortable environment in which dancers can present their best performances.
"Spotlighting" dancers in competition builds self-esteem, develops character, cultivates friendships, and at the same time improves dance and performance skills. We strive to make our competitions entertaining and enjoyable for dancers, teachers, parents and audiences alike. We are convinced our competitions recognize and reward each and every dancer, while inspiring them to strive for excellence. Spotlight Events is dedicated to conducting dynamic, prestigious, and fair events, while promoting the performing arts.
Each and every Spotlight competition is staged as a professional theatrical production. Our events are family-oriented and student-focused. Teachers, students and parents alike find Spotlight Dance Cup to be organized, yet fun. Our competitions run on time, every time, in a warm, friendly, low-stress, personalized and caring atmosphere. We recruit talented and professional judges who offer impartial and constructive oral critiques of each performance that are inspiring to dancers of all ages and ability levels. Online registration and Director/Teacher rebates make the registration process for Spotlight Dance Cup easy and affordable.
Spotlight Events, Inc., producers of Spotlight Dance Cup, was founded in 1995 to provide a well-organized, prestigious, and dynamic event that would inspire students and teachers to strive for excellence in mid-size communities. Our competitions were so well-received in the communities we served, that we expanded to numerous cities throughout the West and Midwest. Our first touring season, 1996, included 12 Regional events and One National Championship Finals, with fewer than 2000 individual competitors combined. In 2002, we toured to 25 Regional cities and held two National Championship Finals, representing over 14,000 individual dancers and over 40,000 performances. Our 2006 season will include 32 Regional cities and two National Championship Finals.
Spotlight Dance Cup, now recognized as one of the finest National dance competitions in the country, continues to lead the industry through technological and theatrical innovations. Spotlight not only is the FIRST competition to implement real-time, computerized scoring, but also leads the industry with our state-of-the-art approach to theatrical staging, sound, and lighting. These factors, combined with our dedicated and caring staff, play a huge role in creating a high quality, organized, and memorable production.
Our adjudicated award system, utilizing the gemstones Diamond, Ruby, Emerald, & Sapphire, is the only one of its type in the dance competition world. Each performance has the potential to earn the highest award possible, which enables the competitors to continually strive for excellence. In addition, our unique categories like the Dance Down, Interpretive, Spotlight Title, and Triple Crown make Spotlight Dance Cup fun and exciting. Competitors at Spotlight Dance Cup always walk away with so much more than just a trophy!
Our National Championship Finals is a spectacular, one-of-a-kind event. In addition to providing an extraordinary competition, we always include a number of exciting extracurricular activities for our participants and their families such as banquets, theme parties, discount show tickets, master classes, special performances and video showcases. Our National Finals will be held in Las Vegas, Nevada, and Branson, Missouri, this year. Both of these cities provide limitless entertainment opportunities for the entire family, are centrally located, and possess affordable travel costs & accommodations.
We look forward to seeing you soon at Spotlight Dance Cup and invite you to experience the competition of choice!
