What Is It?

The ACCELERATED DANCER division is designed to spotlight emerging talent in an industry-style setting.

It connects education with the dancer experience at VDC by exposing performers to real-world audition environments and professional practices—bridging the gap between competition and career.

The Audition Round

Dancers take part in a high-energy audition-style workshop on the VDC stage led by a guest choreographer.

Based solely on what the judge observes during this session, up to three standout dancers will be selected to move through to the callback round. More details below.

The Callback Round

The callback round is a celebration of the dancers selected from the audition.

Up to three performers are invited to showcase a solo of their choice—this can be a previously performed routine or a brand new piece.

These routines are not scored or critiqued, allowing us to simply celebrate each dancer’s achievement and growth.

Final placements for the division are determined by the judge based solely on this performance.

What Comes Next?

Once a dancer makes it to the callback round, they’ve earned a Top 3 placement in their regional ACCELERATED DANCER division.

From here, they automatically qualify for our GRAND FINALS where the section evolves into the prestigious GRAND PRIX.

This elevated experience brings together the Top 3 from across all regions in one ultimate round—celebrating excellence, growth, and the standout performers of the season.

Rule's & Requirements

Dancers must wear black dancewear for the audition class.

Music for the callback solo must be uploaded before the event via the app—this cannot be changed on the day.

Callback selections are final and at the sole discretion of the adjudicator.

Please note: re-dancing in the callback round is not permitted, except for Ultra Mini and Mini age groups.
