How it works:
Dance teams will come together to challenge each other as the Top Performing dance team in Ottawa.
Teams will raise money for their school through ticket sales. All of the proceeds from your ticket sales belong to you!
All routines must be choreographed by students. Choreography is not limited to any style, however we encourage high-energy routines!
The performances will be evaluated by Ottawa dance professionals.
The top performing team will receive a plaque as well as a workshop taught by one of Ottawa’s leading hip hop choreographers.
A major highlight of the event will be performances by one of Ottawa’s top local professional dance companies. TBD
Registration (Google Form):
Each school will enter one dance team.
A second team can be registered providing all of the dancers are separate from team 1.
All dancers on your team must attend the same high school.
All teams must be represented by a member of the school faculty or school approved adult.
An updated roster list must be provided if it has been modified from the original.
MUSIC:
Maximum of 7 minutes for all performances.
All music must be the best quality possible for us to give your audience the best possible experience.
Finalize your mix and send it to us as soon as possible. We need it ahead of time to equalize the levels and plan the night. No music will be accepted after May 17, 2024.
Contact MDC organizers if you need help with your mix. We might be able to help.
2024 CHOREOGRAPHY CHALLENGE
Every year we invite dance teams to come together to challenge each other on stage. Now, MDC offers a challenge to the dance teams based on a theme. To kick off this new initiative, we challenge teams to inspire our audience with Positive Vibes Only! All choreographies must be 100% posi+ive!
Shocking the crowd with provocative music and moves is easy. Keeping it clean and entertaining takes a little more work. How you define positive in your creation is up to you. It can be funny, motivational, educational, or inspiring. We are not accepting any performances containing explicit music or moves. (A little tongue and cheek is ok but no profanity.)
We have been in the Hip Hop dance business since its inception so we understand this can be challenging. That’s the point. ;-) That said, we can make exceptions on language depending on the content. We want this to be a fun experience, not a censor experiment. Email us with any questions.
Are YOU up to the Challenge?
