Dance Competition Survey

There are more dance competitions to choose from these days than ever before. If you are a dance studio owner, how do you pick which ones to attend? Which ones are well-run and have the most fair scoring?

Squirrel Trench Audio is jumping into the void by presenting a survey of your satisfaction with dance competitions you’ve attended. This 10-page survey asks you to report your satisfaction level overall, and then breaks it down by asking your satisfaction with several aspects, such as judging fairness, dressing room accommodations, quality of photos and videos, etc.

Take the survey and find out how your results stack up with others’ experiences!

We’ve just added a poll on our Facebook page, and would be thrilled to get your answer. Check out the poll, and submit your answer here: Dance teachers – when do you select and prep your music for the upcoming dance season?

What percentage is the music in dance?

We all know that the focus of a dance competition is the dance. Obviously. But how integral is the music to the dance? Is the music why you dance? How much better is dancing to great music than mediocre music? Or does it not matter that much? Does the music have to be great to inspire you to new heights in your dance? Is having a great groove important to the dance?

If you had to express the percentage role that the music plays in your dance, what percentage would that be, and why?
