Competitive dance is a form of performance art where dancers compete against each other in various styles, such as ballet, jazz, hip-hop, and contemporary. Dancers are judged based on their technique, creativity, and overall performance. Competitions can take place at local, regional, or national levels, and often involve solo, duo, or group performances. Participants in competitive dance typically train rigorously to improve their skills and prepare for events. Many dancers belong to dance studios or dance teams that provide instruction and support. Awards and scholarships may be offered to top performers, helping them advance in their dance careers.
