Brand Ambassador
At each competition, we crown one Brand Ambassador. This dancer is not just a gifted dancer, he/she embodies the 3 core values of The Ultimate Dance Connection.
Dedication - Shows up consistently for their classes at the studio
Perseverance - Everything may not come easily to them, but they have shown the ability to work hard and overcome obstacles
Team Player - This person consistently works to support their fellow dancers
Dancers in this category will receive the following breakdown of marks:
A mark out of 50, averaging the dancer’s top 2 solo marks
A mark out of 50 will be based on a short (300-400 word) essay* written by the dancer, outlining how they embody dedication, perseverance, and are an exemplary team player
