Deviate Dance - The Process

Deviate Dance - The Process Dance Competition · 2026-27 Season Schedule

Deviate Dance - The Process operates as a boutique dance competition and convention company that emphasizes intimate, personalized experiences over large-scale events. The company runs three events per season and requires dancers to attend the convention portion in order to compete. With a focus on limited class sizes and individualized attention, The Process maintains a maximum of 40 entries per studio and restricts each dancer to one solo entry. The company positions itself as an alternative to traditional large conventions, offering what they describe as "elevated production" and faculty who provide direct mentorship and meaningful feedback. The competition uses a three-criteria judging system scored on a 1-10 scale, evaluating Routine (including costumes, choreography, music, hair, makeup, and props), Execution (musicality, technique, energy), and Overall Impression (emotional impact). Awards include traditional 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place recognition per age division and category, along with special awards for Stand Out Choreography, Stand Out Entertainment, Stand Out Technique, and Stand Out Photogenic. The company also offers specialized programs including Audition Lab sessions focusing on Commercial, Concert, and Theatre styles, as well as The Pro Experience program. Competition admission is free for spectators, and the company emphasizes affordable entry fees, though specific pricing requires studio contact for verification.
