Welcome to Spirit of Dance Awards where we are  dedicated to providing a fun and exciting venue for aspiring young dancers. We believe that  dancers of all levels should enjoy a positive environment to showcase their talents. SDA encourages the use of age appropriate music, costumes, and choreography, while promoting a positive atmosphere and sportsmanship. At each event we offer “VIP” teacher perks, designated dressing areas for the dancers, scholarship awards, choreography awards, title awards, and cash prizes for high scoring entries.
