About Southeast Showdown

Southeast Showdown Dance Competition’s mission is to create an inspiring atmosphere for all performers to showcase individual talents and strengths. Our commitment to developing new and old relationships while supporting studio directors and dancers in a stress-free environment.

Our competition is fast-paced and relaxed. We do our best to stay on schedule and thus occasionally run solos on the Friday evening prior to the competition due to time constraints.

5/5
This is our studio's favorite competition ever! We love the overall atmosphere and Caroline makes sure every dancer feels special! The judges are fair and the kids always have a good time. Southeast always runs on schedule and there's no stress! It's a stress-free, fun, one-day event that I would recommend for any studio (especially good for 1st timers).

We have been to quite a few competitions - but I think this is the most well-run competition we have seen. The staff was friendly. They were on time. They had plenty of space for the dancers to change. Overall a very pleasant experience!
