Immerse Artists Experience ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

My daughter has been attending IAX Dance Convention since she was just 8 years old, and what an incredible journey it has been! ❤️ Throughout her dance career, she has had the honor of representing IAX as a Baton Rouge Elite twice. During her senior year last year, she was once again chosen as an Elite and made the decision to travel with IAX. Her first stop was Memphis, and WOW—what an amazing experience! As a parent, I have spent so many years sitting back and watching the IAX staff, teachers, dancers, and Elites from so many different studios come together. One of the things that has always stood out to me is the positivity, encouragement, and support that surrounds these dancers. Hearing the uplifting messages from IAX owner Meredith—who is truly such a beautiful person inside and out ❤️—along with all of the amazing teachers, is so refreshing to witness. THIS is the kind of environment we want for our dancers! An environment where they can grow, learn, be challenged, feel supported, and build one another up. IAX has given my daughter so much more than dance education. Over the years, she has grown as a dancer and as a person, and she will carry so many of the lessons, experiences, friendships, and memories she has gained through IAX with her for the rest of her life. We are forever grateful to be a part of the IAX family. Thank you, IAX, for always welcoming my daughter with open arms, believing in her, encouraging her, and creating such a positive and supportive space for dancers to do what they love. Both my daughter and I are looking forward to the rest of the IAX 2026 Tour with all of you!!! After all these years, this dance mom’s heart is very full. 🥹❤️ Thank you, IAX, for being such a special part of her dance journey. We will always be grateful! 🩰✨

I hear from dance parents in other cities this convention is different. Unfortunately, in its origin city, Memphis…everyone dreads it. Except for the studio it services. We all know. All the Elites (studio parents make predictions before we even show up) come from one studio. Nothing is unique. It’s a long (early) day. Most local studios come to appease Meredith.

I’ve had the opportunity to atend many dance competitions and Epic Dance Competitions truly stands out. From the moment we arrived, the entire experience was organized, professional, and welcoming. Epic has created the kind of competition experience that makes studios want to come back year after year. We’re already looking forward to our next Epic event.!

My daughters had such a great time. It was so exciting to see all the dancers get up there and do what they love. The event was really smooth, everything was always on time or ahead of schedule. We look forward to coming back and making more memories at Epic!

As the one in charge of comp registration for our studio, I can say the experience behind the scenes matters as much to me as the comp weekend itself. We’re a mid-size studio &we like trying different comps each season, but after attending Epic, I hope they will become a staple on our calendar each year. Anyone who has ever been responsible for registering for their studio knows how frustrating the process can sometimes be. There’s always questions, changes, details to double check, errors (by me lol), etc. I had a few questions while registering & sent them a message to their office expecting to hear back sometime in the next day or two. I’m pretty sure I had a response within the hour. Not only did Grant answer my questions, he took time to walk me thru everything I needed help with. I was shocked to find out the owner was fielding questions, so that was awesome. Might sound like a small thing, but when you’re registering for dozens of comps every year, it makes SUCH a diffference. The entire process ended up being incredibly easy and low stress. What stood out most was that I never felt like I was bothering them or that he was just trying to get through my questions. They seem to genuinely care about making sure I was taken care of and had everything I needed. And then the competition itself was just as positive of an experience. Our dancers and families had a wonderful weekend, and our staff left saying we definitely want to come back. Thanks Grant and Team!

Epic was honestly always one of my fav competitions every year, and I’m so so so sad that my last one is over. I graduated high school this year and am heading to college to continue dancing! I decided to write bc the people at Epic started to feel like a safe place for me and always made me feel special when it was my turn to step into the spotlight lol. They always were smiling and made me remember that dance is supposed to be FUN. I always left with such fun and positive energy. I loved being on the Epic stage, but honestly some of the best parts were everything in between — spending an entire weekend doing what we loved together as a team. I'll miss those moments so much! It never felt like it was only about awards or scores. It was about getting to perform, being with your friends, and making memories together. It’s definitely bittersweet knowing that chapter of my life is over. But I’m so excited for what’s next and to keep dancing , but I’m really going to miss wekends like these. I had to write bc I want to make sure other dancers give them a chance bc of the love that is felt there! Thank you Epic for being such a special part of my dance years. I’ll always be grateful for the memories. 💙
