Time Efficient Scheduling Format

​At California Dance Classics, we value your time and strive to make your competition experience

seamless and efficient.

Most solo age groups are scheduled to be completed in just one day!

Your day begins with an inspiring onstage Masterclass, designed to warm up and engage dancers. Following this, we dive straight into the competition, showcasing

Classical Repertoire, National Character, Neo-Classical, and Contemporary categories.

In some cases, to ensure every dancer has the best possible experience, solo age groups may extend over two days. This allows us to maintain the highest standards for scheduling and adjudication,

giving each performer the time and attention they deserve.

Our time-efficient format ensures that every dancer gets a full and enriching experience while

minimizing disruptions to your schedule.
