What a great competition experience! Everything was great in every way - ran smoothly and on time. The judges attentiveness to the dancers and what they gave the dancers back was super great. All was great from the super friendly retail of selling of shirts to the top notch pics and videos.

Raquel Rodriquez, VA

I appreciated all the consistent, strong, positive messages to the dancers and the entire dance community. They celebrate dance and all the hard work all the dancers put into their performances.

Katie Taylor Mowrey, MI

Great competition. Video critiques we so specific and positive! Great free pictures and videos!

Joyce Child, MA

Fabulous competition, one of the few that judged fairly, ran on time, and had an Emcee that I could actually understand.

Beth Cissell, OH

Nationals is so well run. Amazing classes with teachers who know their fields. Even a session on how to do a resume, how to audition- invaluable information for parents and dancers; so glad the parents were given a chance to be there.

Debbie McGowen, MD

We absolutely loved Headliners!! It was such a positive atmosphere!! The judges gave wonderful comments and were so kind and genuine! Will definitely be back! Looking forward to nationals!!!
