About Hollywood Vibe

Hollywood Vibe is a nationally touring dance convention and competition company founded in 1998 and headquartered in Los Angeles, California. The company operates approximately 11 events per season across the United States, offering both three-day convention weekends featuring master classes in all styles of dance and competitive opportunities for dancers from Mini through Senior and Pro-Am divisions. Hollywood Vibe culminates its season with National Finals events, including the Hollywood Invitational National Finals held in both Orlando and San Diego. The company's faculty consists of industry professionals who are actively working choreographers and performers in television, film, and live entertainment. Faculty members have credits on major productions including Dancing with the Stars, So You Think You Can Dance, America's Got Talent, and have worked with prominent artists such as Justin Bieber, Madonna, and Michael Jackson. The competition uses a comprehensive 100-point judging system evaluated by three judges, with scoring criteria including technique (30 points), performance (30 points), choreography (20 points), overall impression (10 points), and music/costuming (10 points). A dedicated Teacher Judge provides separate critiques for educational feedback. Hollywood Vibe awards dancers with a tiered recognition system ranging from Bronze (79-81%) through their top Vibe Award (97.5-100%), along with cash prizes for specialty categories such as Outstanding Choreography and Most Entertaining. The company offers year-long scholarships and maintains a VIP Teacher Rewards program, emphasizing both competitive excellence and educational value for dance studios nationwide.
