Group Showcase Performances with Faculty Critiques

Here’s your opportunity to be seen by and receive feedback from the Industry’s top choreographers. The Club Stylz Showcase is a non-competitive and very supportive environment where your dancers can perform without the pressure of a competition.

Groups will receive a video of their performance with feedback from our faculty, as well as written critiques at the end of the convention. Unique to Monsters Dance!

We offer a limited number of Showcase spots for groups participating in the convention to perform, first come, first served. Must be paid in full to secure your spot. All performing dancers must be registered for the same weekend's convention classes.

KEEP IT IN THE HIP HOP FAMILY

Friendly reminder - Monsters Showcase is just one genre! Commercial Hip Hop (or New School) is welcome but versatility is encouraged (i.e. street jazz, house, funk styles, etc).

Routines can incorporate commercial dance styles including various forms of hip hop dance, contemporary, jazz, lyrical, acrobatics, etc. but at least one style of hip hop dance* (i.e. street jazz, house, funk styles, etc) must be included.

*Hip hop dance refers to dance styles, mainly street dance styles, primarily danced to hip hop music, or that have evolved as a part of the hiphop culture.

SHOES (mandatory)

Footwear must be worn at all times! Performers will not be allowed onstage in bare feet or socks.

KEEP IT CLEAN

At Monsters events we appreciate the wide range of personal expression and creativity offered by different styles and choreography. While we do not wish to stifle anyone’s artistic voice, Monsters Club Stylez is a family event and inappropriate routines will be penalized. A total of 5 points will be deducted from any routine that the judges find not to be "family friendly.” Disqualification is at the Judges' discretion.
