Dance Open America Dance Competition · 2026-27 Season Schedule

Dance Open America operates as an international ballet competition that combines regional semifinal events with video-based preselection and culminates in a Grand Prix Finals competition. The organization runs semifinal competitions across multiple countries including Taiwan, Spain, Puerto Rico, and Portugal, along with an International Video Preselection process where dancers submit videos to earn a "Golden Pass" to the finals. The company was established as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in 2020. The Grand Prix Finals takes place annually in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, bringing together dancers who advance through the various semifinal competitions, video preselection, or receive Golden Pass qualification. The competition focuses specifically on ballet and presents annual Lifetime Achievement Awards to notable figures in the ballet world. Dance Open America positions itself as a platform for connecting dancers globally and discovering emerging talent across different cultures and ethnicities, with the stated mission of helping dancers develop as innovative artists while preserving dance as an art form.
