Are you SCORA’s Favorite Dance Crew?
It’s time for the 3rd Annual Novice Dance Competition.
Novice, are you ready to bring it and represent your club? It’s time to show all the other clubs that you have moves on and off the water.
Open paddlers, make sure your novice are ready – the dance competition is on!
You pick the category – traditional or contemporary and start planning your moves.
You’ll need music, costumes – and if you can make fun of the open paddlers in your performance, that’s even better. Judges will rate the performances and there will be awards for the winners.
Register today and start practicing. This year the competition is limited to 10 dance crews.
