CELEBRITY CONNECTED! At Celebrity Dance Competitions, we consider you and your loved ones a part of the Celebrity Family. Taking care of our family and treating everyone as the Celebrities they are is at the heart of our mission and the Celebrity Experience.

This is why we are working behind the scenes to bring you new Celebrity Experiences like never before. Check out the projects we have brought to life and what we are working on now!

Celebrity aims to create the safest environment possible for all dancers, their families, studio owners and staff as well as our own Celebrity Team. We have implemented a few new programs at Celebrity to help keep this possible. From training with Danscend to understanding the mission of what we do, Celebrity is prepared to make sure everyone is treated like the Celebrity they are!

As the world moves forward at a rapid pace and technology allows us the ability to raise awareness on issues, events and experiences it’s easy to become… afraid. Afraid of the unknown, afraid of possibilities, and eventually afraid of living. If this is you, please know that you are not alone and true life lies on the other side of our deepest fears. Courage does not belong to the fearless, but to those who are willing to be afraid and do it anyways. Face fear, find freedom. Enjoy FEAR!

Celebrity is proud to partner with AMDA! AMDA joins us at Celebrity Events awarding scholarships to dance and train at both of their college campuses, NY & LA! Join us at a Celebrity Event this season to take part in this amazing opportunity!

The intention behind this concept is to awaken and inspire the dreamer within while introducing the vibrance of color to an often monochromatic world. Illustrating that no dream is too big or unattainable, The Rhythm Section explores the theme that we possess the innate power to change our perceived reality by simply allowing ourselves to dream. The Rhythm Section follows the journey of our hero dancer and her fellow castmates as she is awakened from a dreary, monotonous world and transported to one that is vibrant, enlivening, and empowering. In this realm, with the help of her friends, she manifests her greatest dream. The world is colorful, pulsating, lively with rhythm, and full of possibility. It is here that our star discovers her truest self and inspires others to do the same through rhythm and dance. The ultimate objective is to transport the audience and the performers from an everyday mindset to a captivating place of inspiration and endless possibility. Now, enjoy a vision of Ashlé Dawson, produced by Celebrity Dance, and featuring the 2022 Celebrity Crew in The Rhythm Section!

A little over a year ago, all of our lives were about to change and we didn’t even realize it. Since then, we have faced the unimaginable and overcome the insurmountable together. The simple things we once took for granted are experienced with a renewed appreciation. The unimportant things that don’t really matter no longer burden us as they once did. Our perspectives changed and we found hope in places we never knew existed. With all we’ve learned and all we’ve endured together… we look forward to the day we can return together.
