COMPETITION EXPERIENCE 

Revive Dance recognizes the commitment, hard work, and dedication of each studio prior to their dancers stepping on stage for competition. Our Competition Experience honors that dedication with a focused time each weekend that provides teachers, dancers, and families the opportunity to fully engage in and enjoy the Competition Experience.

 The Competition Experience seeks to: 

• Foster a community-focused environment for all participating studios

• Ensure an age-appropriate competition schedule, allowing dancers ample time for stage preparation and rest/recovery

• Offer educational feedback and critiques from our esteemed Adrenaline faculty and judges

• Uphold ethical judging standards through the enforcement of the Amplified Rules and Regulations

AUDITION EXPERIENCE 

As innovators in the field, Revive Dance embraces the opportunity of guiding emerging dance artists as they learn more about the professional dance world. Our Audition Experience invites dancers to grow in their craft through an immersive audition experience led by our acclaimed Revive faculty and professional assistants. All participating dancers will audition for the opportunity to earn a scholarship that includes an invitation to join the Performance Crew, premiering in the closing show.

The Audition Experience provides:

• Allocated time at every event for dancers to fully immerse themselves in the Audition Experience

• A safe environment to learn and experience the intricacies of a dance audition process

• Nurturing guidance on excelling and thriving in an audition setting

In addition to the Performance Crew scholarship recipients selected at the Audition experience, dancers registered for the full Classroom Series workshop are eligible to be selected for various  additional scholarships at each event. Our faculty will be selecting recipients by looking at the whole dancer—celebrating not just your technical talent, but also your energy, enthusiasm, and the way you engage with your peers in class. Dancers will be observed by our faculty during all Classroom Series sessions as well as the Audition Experience for scholarship selection.

SPARKS EXPERIENCE 

The SPARKS Experience mission is to provide dancers ages 5-7 with a developmentally appropriate environment where they can learn, grow, explore, and experience the art of dance in a meaningful way. Through the SPARK experience, we offer a dance curriculum curated to help each student learn the foundations of dance, explore dance as an art form through creative movement opportunities, gain insight into dance on stage through the SPARKS Performance opportunity, and build a community with other dancers their age. Our goal is to foster a love for dance, encourage creativity, and support the holistic development of young dancers as they embark on their dance journey.

SPARKS Vision 

Our SPARKS curriculum is designed and led by Lindsey Morgan, who holds a BFA in elementary education with a concentration in child development. Lindsey's years of experience in education, combined with a background in the dance industry, have motivated her to integrate developmental approaches that create a learner-centered environment within the dance convention circuit. By incorporating classroom management techniques, age-appropriate language and vocabulary, as well as other art forms such as drawing and music, young dancers are fully immersed in the learning process. This approach enables them to enhance their skills and build confidence, nurturing their growth both as dancers and individuals.

SPARKS Faculty 

Each weekend, our SPARKS room is overseen by one of our dedicated SPARKS Leads. These Leads are part of our convention faculty and blend expertise in dance education with a deep passion for nurturing the next generation of young artists. They are responsible for guiding and supervising the overall SPARKS experience, creating a safe and engaging environment where all dancers can enjoy and actively participate in every aspect of the weekend.

SPARKS Performance 

Each weekend, all registered SPARKS participants have the exciting opportunity to showcase their talents in the closing show. Under the guidance of our skilled SPARKS Leads, dancers engage in a specialized choreographic process tailored to their age group. The weekend culminates with SPARKS taking the stage, where they can revel in the art of performance alongside their fellow SPARKS friends!
