Welcome to Believe National Talent Competition and the Believe Family!

Hello and Welcome to the 11th Dance Season for Believe National Talent Competition. I am so honored to have you join the Believe Family this weekend. As National Director, I have experienced some incredible happenings over this past 18 years with the Star Dance Alliance. It is my esteemed privilege to lead an incredible team of professional dancers and adjudicators from around the globe. As a former “Dance Dad” myself, I have spent countless hours in every aspect of the competition industry, from fundraising by working bingo halls to music concerts, to building props, mixing music, and designing dance costumes. I can empathize with many of you who work tirelessly to support your children as I’ve walked in your shoes. I continue to be inspired by every studio owner, dancer and dance parent who I have met over my lifetime. We are all part of the global dance family, and for that I am truly blessed.

Starpower is the stage where performers of all ages and levels, across the globe showcase their talent.
Over 35 years of experience has shaped our unique competition. Every year, Studio Owners, Teachers, Performers, and their Families and Friends are welcomed at upwards of 80 creative and energy packed competitions in cities across the globe.
