Can You Think

On Your Feet?


Can you keep your grace under pressure? The Improv category will put you to the test. Judges select a song. You’ll hear a 15-second snippet then have to create a 60-second routine on the fly. Do it with one or more partners in our Contact Improv category, or go for the ultimate challenge — Remix Improv — where you won’t know the songs until halfway through your routine!

Solo Improv & Contact Improv

Each dancer (Solo), or two or more dancers (Contact), will be given 15 seconds to listen to a song selected at random. They will then get one minute to perform their piece. Contact Improv will require dancers to connect with each other throughout the piece. These categories will receive live adjudication and will be marked in two divisions – 12 and under and 13 and over.

Remix Improv & Contact Remix Improv

In these categories, dancers are challenged by getting a variety of songs in their 60 second performance. Dancers will not know what song(s) will be mixed into the soundtrack until mid-way through the performance. They will have to be creative and think on their feet. These categories will receive live adjudication and will be marked in two divisions – 12 and under and 13 and over.
