Make An Impact: Challenge Yourself

Prepare for your upcoming competitive dance season with Impact Dance Challenge’s Live Critique! This unique, non-competitive challenge offers dancers the chance to showcase their SOLO, DUET, or TRIO routines in an intimate and supportive setting.

Present your performance to a distinguished panel of experienced judges, who will provide live, constructive critiques to help you refine your routine and technique. Our goal is to offer dancers invaluable feedback in a non-pressured environment, ensuring they are fully prepared for the challenges of the competition season ahead.
