What is your "at the door" policy?

Our media team will videotape during the Competition and you are able to purchase your studio’s routine (we do not sell the entire show). There are NO personal video cameras allowed. Please respect that our faculty’s choreography and images are copyrighted. Security will enforce this policy; so don’t even pack those camcorders, please! Thanks!

What are faculty/judges looking for when they choosing scholarship winners?

Each faculty member has a different reason for choosing scholarship winners, whether it is technique, style, personality, ability to execute their choreography, etc.  

Why are some dancers recognized in class and not given a scholarship?

During class the faculty like to recognize dancers for the hard work, effort, ability, etc.  Sometimes dancers are called out because the faculty want to see them do the choreography again, or have a chance to dance with other dancers.  They want to push them and help them grow.  By doing this, they are able to determine which dancers they would like to recommend before submitting their final list. 

What is the process of becoming a Prodigy All-Star?

The faculty select dancers in each level for this apprenticeship program. Dancers with the most votes are submitted for consideration by the Artistic Director. These dancers are then offered a scholarship in the Prodigy All-Star program. Recipients will be contacted by ADE staff after the event with the rules and responsibilities of the program.  For more information, click here.

What is the role of a Prodigy All-Star?

Prodigies are invited to attend any Artistic Dance Exchange convention for FREE for one calendar year.
