Spotlight Dance Cup is an industry-leading organization that hosts high quality dance competitions throughout the United States. Spotlight’s core focus is to “Inspire and Celebrate Young Adults through the Art of Dance”. We are client focused while providing family-friendly, organized, and fairly judged events with FREE Media to all participants. Our fun and caring staff standout in this industry and have propelled us through 27 years of business success! As a member of the Association of Dance Competitions & Conventions and a partner with Industry Dance Awards and Dancers Against Cancer, we are thrilled to kick off our 2023 Tour!
Our events offer three levels of competition in a variety of dance genres.
Every Spotlight competition holds a unique and beloved “Dance Down” allowing competitors the opportunity to participate in an audition-like setting where dancers learn a short jazz-style combination live on stage and perform in front of our judges to win incredible prizes and scholarships! Spotlight’s Title competition is unlike any other Title experience in the industry, demonstrating public speaking skills coupled with dance skills.
With 60 Regional cities and 3 exciting National Finals in French Lick, IN,
San Diego, CA and Seaside, OR, we invite you and your dancers to “Shine in the Spotlight” this season!
