YES! We allow Independent entries to both compete and attend convention classes within each city stop. Please create an Independent account within the registration portal to process registration.

The competition is such an amazing experience at Fluid, no other event can compare! Three judges are present in every city, and upon completion of each routine, the performers will walk downstage to receive live feedback from each. Adjudication placement is given for each performing routine.

Participation in a Fluid regional event is not required to attend Nationals. All dancers and studios are welcome to register.

Routines that receive a POWER Award and/or 1st Top Overall at a Fluid regional event automatically qualify to compete for Dancer of the Year or Performance of the Year during the Elite Finals, as applicable.

All Fluid Faculty and staff, along with special Guest Faculty, will be teaching, judging and supporting dancers throughout Nationals!

When participating within the convention portion of the weekend, there will be a large variety of class genres. If dancers are able to dress according to each style, the faculty would love that. There are short breaks between each convention class, for quick clothing change opportunities. Bring an assortment of dance shoes, for preparation to participate within each class.

Lunch: Fluid Dance does not provide lunch for the dancers, but each event venue will have a variety of options to select from. Be sure to pack snacks and water to enjoy on breaks between classes and throughout the competition.
