2014 TOUR DATES: Long Island, NY: March 1-2, 2014 Buffalo, NY: May 16-18, 2014 The Dance Championships is the dance competition industry's premiere local dance competition serving BUFFALO and LONG ISLAND, NY. We are a family-owned and operated business that has been entertaining children and families in New York since 1989. The Dance Championships continues to deliver on its core principle of family convenience and affordability while providing dancers valuable performing experience in an organized, energetic and fun environment. We offer the same benefits as the national dance competitions at a fraction of the cost! (online registration, text alerts, DVD video adjudication, medals and ribbons for every dancer, "additional" lapel pin awards for routines achieving an average score of 95 or higher, high score trophies, cash prizes, photo & video services, performance divisions such as Professional and Apprentice etc.) We are known in the industry as the organized, well-run competition that consistently runs on time or ahead of schedule. We began in Buffalo, NY and expanded to Syracuse, NY and Rochester, NY. This year, we are expanding to LONG ISLAND, NY. Come join us for the celebration and contact us if you have further questions!
