Courage, creativity & shine!
Dance is a universal language. It transcends location, dialect, and status, freeing artists to share their emotions as an expression of self and uniting them with their audiences in a shared appreciation of movement.
Angel Shine Dance Challenges help to bring our global network together, providing young dancers with a platform to display their talents. The reward? Visibility, accolade, admiration…and of course, scholarships for dance education and expenses!
So…What’s a Dance Challenge?
An Angel Shine Dance Challenge is a fun way for dancers to share their creativity with our social media audience and the world. We post several themed challenges throughout the year on our Instagram page, inviting artists to choreograph and submit a dance video that explores that particular challenge’s theme.
Our board selects the top 3 entries and honorable mentions. We then post three finalist videos on Instagram and let the public select a winner! Every dancer under 18 years old is encouraged to submit a themed video to share their love of dance with our community!
