BENEFITS OF CDS 2026
At CDS, every dancer is given the opportunity to perform their own solo without the pressure of elimination rounds.
Our panel of expert judges carefully selects the top 8 finalists. These finalists are then invited to perform their chosen solo once more in our Finals, where they compete for the chance to be a CDS winner & win cash prizes.
Every dancer will take class with one of our esteemed judges and talent scouts, gaining direct feedback, personalised corrections, and the invaluable opportunity to be scouted for future training or professional pathways.
We are proud to partner with leading training institutions around the world to offer exclusive opportunities for exceptional dancers, selected at the discretion of each organisation.
Opt for our Deluxe Entry to receive professionally captured photos delivered to you after the event. For the ultimate experience, choose the Ultra-Deluxe Entry and receive both personalised photos & video of your solo performance.
