COMPETITION DETAIL

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. 💙

We had such a great experience at Epic. My daughter had a blast and really enjoyed the whole weekend. Everything was pretty well organized, the staff was super nice, and the atmosphere was just really positive. As a parent it was so nice seeing her have fun and feel proud of herself on stage.

We had an incredible expereince with this dance competition! What truly stood out was their willingness to work with our studio when we had a late entry. They could have easily said no, but instead, went above and beyond to acommodate us and make sure our dancers didn’t miss out on the opportunity to compete. Their communication was professional, prompt, and helpful. It was clear they genuinely cared about our studio, our dancers, and making the experience as positive as possible.

I've been taking my dancers to competitions for a lot of years, and after attending Epic Dance, I can honestly say this is what a dance competition should feel like. From the moment we walked through the doors, the positivity of the entire staff stood out. Every person we interacted with—from registration to backstage to the production team—was welcoming, encouraging, and genuinely happy to be there. You could tell they cared about creating a great experience, not just running another event. One thing that impressed me the most was how well the competition stayed on schedule. We all know how stressful long delays can be for dancers, teachers, and families, so having an event that respected everyone's time was incredibly refreshing. The weekend flowed smoothly without ever feeling rushed. What really earned my respect, though, was the way Epic treated the dancers backstage. If a dancer needed an extra moment to collect themselves, fix a costume, or simply take a breath before going on stage, the staff showed patience and compassion. They were always willing to give that little bit of grace when it mattered most. Those moments may seem small, but they make a huge difference to young performers. Epic has found the balance that every competition strives for—professional, organized, positive, and dancer-focused. The atmosphere was competitive in all the right ways while still being supportive and uplifting. My students left feeling inspired, my parents had nothing but positive things to say, and my staff agreed. We'll absolutely be back. Thank you to everyone at Epic Dance for reminding us what a dance competition experience is supposed to be.

I can't say enough great things about our experience at Epic Dance! From the moment we arrived the event was incredibly well organized, welcoming, and professionally run. The schedule stayed on track the staff was friendly and helpful and the positive atmosphere made the entire weekend enjoyable for our dancers, staff, and families.

As a studio owner, I can honestly say Epic Dance continues to be one of our favorite events of the season. From the moment we arrived, the staff was welcoming, organized, and genuinely invested in creating a positive experience for every dancer, teacher, and family. The competition ran on schedule, the judges provided thoughtful and encouraging feedback, and the atmosphere was both professional and uplifting. Our dancers left the weekend feeling inspired, confident, and excited to continue growing—not just because of their results, but because they felt seen and celebrated. Epic has created an environment where great sportsmanship, outstanding talent, and a love for dance all come together.

A parent who attended last year's Epic event in Omaha. Great staff. Super friendly. The backstage girls in particular made my daughter feel so important. She's so tiny and it was her first competition lol and they (and the entire staff) were so friendly and made her feel excited like everyone was there just to see her. The entire weekend was fun. I believe this group truly cares that everyone attending has a good time. Thanks for giving my daughter a first memory that will stick with her forever! I'm encouraging our studio to return (which I believe we already are!).

We absolutely love Epic Dance! Pamelot School of Dance has had the privilege of working with Epic for over 10 years, and they have consistently provided an incredible experience for our dancers and families. What sets Epic apart is the genuine care they have for every dancer. Our students always leave feeling seen, valued, and encouraged, regardless of their placement. The judges provide thoughtful, constructive feedback, and the entire staff creates a positive, uplifting environment where dancers are inspired to grow. We have been honored to host Epic at our studio for workshops and intensives, as well as attend their competitions year after year. Their professionalism, organization, and passion for dance are evident in everything they do. We are grateful for our long-standing relationship with Epic Dance and highly recommend them to any studio looking for a competition that celebrates excellence while building confidence and a true love of dance.

Great staff, very welcoming and organized

EPIC DANCE is an outstanding experience for all of our dancers, families and staff of our studio. The entire EPIC staff is wonderful to work with and so kind from the Merch table to directors and everyone in between, The feeling is that everyone on the Epic staff cared and appreciated everyone, dancers, parents and siblings throughout the building. Great job on the fluidity of the days with categories, judges breaks and scheduling of the entire event from start to finish. Our entire staff all agree that the entire competition was put together and run with ease and grace. Feedback received from the judges is outstanding and applicable to student growth. The knowledge of all genres was very much appreciated. Thank you again for an outstanding competition experience.

We have had Epic Dance workshops come to our studio for the last six years. We cannot say enough positive things about the experience our students receive! They always come out smiling and happy and refreshed! Their confidence grows and a new spark for dance has been ignited! The staff is top notch and never disappoints! It is hands down the best in house workshop we have had come into our studio. The teachers are always personable with the students and staff! We are forever grateful for this opportunity each year and look forward to many more!

This is my daughter's first year of competition and I have to say this event really exceeded my expectations! The entire experience was positive. We appreciated the staff welcoming us in the morning and introducing themselves. Things were on time and well put together. Drew was a fabulous DJ/host that was engaging with the kids at awards. Laura was fantastic and I especially appreciated her positive message during improv. Things ran very professionally and there were several things done (like during improv) that were growth and experience opportunities for the kids. From a parent's point of view, the communication was great in terms of letting us know if things were running on time or ahead of schedule. It was our last comp of the season and it was a beautiful way to end the season. Be proud of the event you put on, it was a truly wonderful experience!

We just completed our second year with Epic and they were great to work with. The staff has such attention to detail, are professional and are VERY quick to help if anything comes up with scheduling or issues while at the competition with quick changes or anything other rando that appears. Grant, as an owner, takes the time to listen to the studio owners and gather feedback and makes sure we feel heard as well as welcome to the competitions. We love this competition and plan on coming back for years to come.

It was the very first competition epic put on. Had some bumps but excited to come back this coming year. Staff was very friendly and easy to work with.

My dancers had an incredible experience at Epic! The staff was helpful and created a comfortable environment for the dancers, parents and my staff. Would highly recommend!

We attended Epic last year and are excited to attend again this season! The competition was run smoothly and on time. The judges provided good, usable feedback. Our kids had a BLAST! Plus, the start and end times were not insane!!! That is such a bonus that we all appreciated! Highly recommend Epic!

Grant and his team ran a professional and fun event!
