The Emotions Dance Productions Difference
Not your typical run of the mill dance competition. Emotions Dance Productions is a partnership with over 35 years of professional theatre and dance experience. Like most choreographers and teachers, we have spent many weekends as parents at dance competitions and endless days and nights driving our kids to and from dance rehearsals.

After producing many annual dance recitals and attending many more dance competitions for the past 15 years, we knew that there had to be a better way to stage and produce a Dance Competition. There is a way to make the experience of competing in Dance Competitions more closely resemble a Broadway Musical Production. There is a way to enhance the experience for the audience and still treat the dancers with the respect they so deserve.

The better way starts with choices
We will produce a Dance Competition that gives choreographers and dance teachers the choice of how to best present their dance routines. You will have choices in lighting, both backgrounds and styles, and choices for entrances and exit strategies.

We offer these choices because we know that choreographers and teachers are best suited to make the decisions necessary to highlight each dance. You, the choreographers and teachers, get to decide how your dancers will enter the stage: in the dark, in subdued or full light or only silhouetted back lighting. The decisions are yours.

Are you tired of losing your black costumed dancers in black drapery? We give you a choice of background colors. You decide which color best accents their dance and costumes. Background color choices are Red, Green, Blue, or Gold.

Is your dance dramatic and would look best with just some back lighting and maybe some minimal side lighting only? You decide. Would top lighting be best or full front lighting? Again you decide.

Do you want the audience to discover your dancers on stage as the music begins or do you want them to enter in silhouette with only backlighting? You decide. What about your exit strategy? Would the effect be more favorable if your routine ended with a fade to black or do your dancers dance off stage? Again you decide.

Our judges will see your dance routine as you have choreographed it, in its best, most favorable stage setting because you made the choices that best suit your individual numbers.

Too stressed or busy to make all these decisions? Not to worry, we have a default settings that makes the decisions for you. Simply check the default box on your entry form and leave the decisions to us. (Default settings are: Gold background, stage lights to 10% for entrance and full lighting as the music starts with a fade to black 2 seconds after final pose.)

The bottom line is simply that the kids dancing will benefit from a professional experience, the teachers and choreographers will benefit from their choices of lighting strategies and the Art of Dance competitions will be elevated to new levels. Come join Emotions Dance Productions in our 3rd Season and grow with us. You won’t regret it, your dancers and their parents will love it, too.
