WELCOME TO EVOLUTION

SOLOS, DUOS & TRIOS - A PARENT INTRODUCTION
 

1. who we are

​​​

Evolution Dance Competition was created to offer a calm, professional and positive competition experience for dancers of all levels.

​

Our focus is not just on results - but on:

  • growth

  • confidence

  • wellbeing

  • artistry

  • fair and transparent judging

​

Whether this is your child’s first competition or they are an experienced performer, Evolution is designed to feel supportive, organised and respectful.

2. WHAT TO EXPECT AT EVOLUTION

​

At Evolution, solos, duos and trios are given space to shine in a structured and well-run environment.

​

You can expect:

  • clear scheduling and communication

  • professional adjudicators who provide constructive feedback

  • age-appropriate content and expectations

  • a calm backstage environment with dedicated staff

  • video/audio critiques so dancers can learn and improve

​

We aim to remove unnecessary pressure and allow dancers to enjoy performing while still being challenged appropriately.

3. COMPETITION LEVES EXPLAINED

​​

Evolution offers Novice and Open sections for solos.​

​

  • Novice is designed for dancers who are newer to competing or building confidence.

  • Open is for more experienced or advanced performers.

​

(Eligibility rules apply and are explained in our Terms & Conditions.)

​

For some events, Championship sections may also be offered. These are optional additional sections designed to celebrate strong performances across specific styles.

4. our values​​

​

At Evolution, we believe:

  • every dancer deserves respect

  • progress matters just as much as placement

  • competitions should feel inspiring, not overwhelming

  • feedback should help dancers grow, not discourage them

​

We do not publish scores publicly, and we work hard to maintain a positive culture for dancers, parents and teachers alike.
