Every participant will be judged by industry professionals and receive a digital certificate and a medal, celebrating their hard work and talent.

Our Competitions offer numerous benefits for dancers, especially those who are new to the competitive scene.

Competing at a novice level allows dancers to practice and refine their skills in a supportive environment. They can focus on fundamental techniques without the pressure of competing against highly experienced dancers.

Participating in our set solo competitions can boost a dancer’s confidence. Performing in front of an audience helps dancers become more comfortable with their abilities and stage presence.

Novice competitions provide a valuable opportunity to experience the performance aspect of dance. Dancers learn how to present themselves, manage stage fright, and engage with an audience.

Novice competitions help dancers learn about the competitive environment, including how to deal with wins and losses, sportsmanship, and the importance of dedication and hard work.

Preparing for a competition gives dancers specific goals to work toward. This can motivate them to practice more consistently and passionately.

Competitions may feature a range of dance styles, allowing novice dancers to explore various genres and find what they enjoy most. SJ Promotions novice dance competitions provide a nurturing environment for dancers to grow, learn, and enjoy the art of dance while building a foundation for future competitive endeavours.
