Our 6th annual Challenge includes10 venues hosting qualifiying contests in Open (intermediate/advanced), Novice (Same as WSDC), and Newcomer (Never Competed in a WSDC event) divisions.
The Newcomer division is special to us as it gives new dancers a chance to compete in a supportive and fun environment and gives them valuable floor time.
