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!

Busy and exciting week!

It’s been a busy and exciting week for Squirrel Trench Audio! Not only are we sponsoring this week’s contest in the Dance Mom of the Year competition on DanceMom.com, we also have 23 routines with Squirrel Trench music debuting in competition this weekend! Out of a total of 243 routines at the United States Tournament of Dance Western Massachusetts championship, Squirrel Trench Audio has provided the music for 31 of the routines, which is nearly 13%!

Competition CDs are ready to goAnd as if all of that weren’t enough, we continue to edit the music for numerous solo routines for On Stage Dance Studio in Cedar City, Utah. In fact, we’ve gotten another 3 done in just the past 24 hours alone.

Here’s the latest feedback from one of the dance teachers at On Stage Dance:

“I can’t believe how fast you are, thanks a million!!! Too bad that music alone can’t win a ‘high point,’ because we would have a guaranteed trophy! THANKS!”

More group CDs bound for competition!

Here are just a few of Squirrel Trench’s original remixes for small to large groups in jazz and tap categories that will be competing (and in most cases premiering) this weekend in Springfield, Massachusetts at USTD.

I can’t even begin to fathom the number of hours that went into producing these gems… a true labor of love. We’ll see if it translates into scoring well for the dancers. I can’t wait to see them performed!
