WORLD DANCE SHOWDOWN
DANCE COMPETITIONS

It's your time to shine!

Dance Competitions are for line dancers, couples, dance teams and choreographers and are held concurrently to the workshops.  Line Dance names will be announced in March 2025.  Couples dances are 2-Step, Waltz, East Coast Swing, West Coast Swing and Country Swing.  Dancers may enter one or more of the dances.  No prior dance competition experience is required.   Dancers can enter multiple competition categories.  We encourage line dancers to compete in couples and couples to compete in line dancing and everyone to compete with a dance team in the dance team competition plus create an original choreography line or partner dance.

​

Choreography and Dance Team Competitors from the USA and Canada will compete on-site at the World Dance Showdown in all competition categories.  Choreography and Dance Team Competitors from Mexico and South America and all off-shore countries will compete by sending a video recording of their competition entry to us.  Information will be sent to international competitors telling you how to submit your video entry after you register.​ USA and Canadian Choreographers and Dance Teams may not send in a video entry and will compete live on-site in Indianapolis at the event.
