Dance Competition
Description
Host a Dance Competition at your school or in your community!
Participants will form a group with their friends to perform a 90 second dance to a song of their choice, which will be judged by 3 judges from a score of ten. The group with the highest score will get a prize. Additionally, participants collect “fans” (friends and family members) who buy tickets to support a specific group. The group that raises the most money (by collecting the biggest amount of fans) wins a prize.
