Art of Movement Dance Competition · 2026-27 Season Schedule

Art of Movement is a national dance convention and competition company headquartered in Signal Hill, California, that operates under the tagline "Bringing the heART back to dance." The company offers both competition and convention components, traveling across the United States to host events that prioritize creating a constructive, safe, supportive, and fun learning environment for dancers. Art of Movement holds a national championship event in Burbank, California, typically in late June, featuring competition, classes, auditions, and scholarships. The company's competition uses a comprehensive scoring system with awards ranging from Silver (231-242.999) up to True Artist (291+), along with specialty awards including Choreography, Entertainment, Judges' Choice, Technical Execution, Best in Style, and Triple Heart Award. Judging is based on five criteria: Technique (30%), Performance (25%), Execution (25%), Choreography (15%), and Costume and Music (5%). The convention component features two full days of workshop classes led by professional faculty, with each class lasting one hour for ages 10 and up to ensure dancers receive a comprehensive learning experience. Art of Movement emphasizes providing adequate space for dancers, aiming for approximately 6x6 feet per dancer in workshops, and offers age-appropriate programming including a specialized Mini Mover Program for younger participants that focuses on fun and inspiration rather than competitive pressure.
