We are excited to host your Des Moines Dance Classic Competition 2025! Your competition organizers are Anne Bates and Laura Ohrt. We are planning diligently to make this a fun and affordable event for all ages, abilities, and couple combinations. In order to keep costs as low as we can our competition is held in a gym at a local public school with a wonderful wood floor. We offer one price for pro/am couples that INCLUDES the cost of your instructor - just $300 for up to 60 heats! Am/am couples pay just $200 per person for up to 60 heats, and students and youth pay just $100 for up to 60 heats. Please note that due to our location we will not be offering food options. Please bring any food you want throughout the day, or plan to make a trip out to pick up a meal. There are many nearby options.
DMDC will hold a daytime competition and evening showcase event, offering one price for entrance fees and up to 60 heats. We are the ONLY competition to offer Personal Competition Critiques! This unique option is perfect for the couple who wants immediate feedback on how they look on the competition dance floor. After dancing a round in the category and dance level of your choice you will meet with a judge to receive feedback on your competition floor dancing. Spaces for PCC's are limited, so sign up early. Please note that we accept all couples, including same gender partners!
New for 2024:
1) REGISTRATION OPENS AT 10AM AND COMPETITION BEGINS AT 11AM!
2) We are adding in championship rounds at levels A, B, C, D for each dance style. Entry fee for each championship is only $50!
3) For added fun at the end of all competitive heats each participant is able to enter our Team Match Dance Off. This includes professionals. We will have four teams and each participant will be paired with someone they don't regularly dance with at the beginning of Session 1. Each couple on a team can participate in one heat of each dance style (smooth, rhythm, latin, standard, nightclub, country). The team with the top placements over all 5 catagories will win! This is a great way to meet other people in the ballroom world and to just have a bit of fun.
4) Couples are now able to dance down an age group. This will allow people with multiple partners of the same age to compete.
5) In order to place youth am/am couples in a fair age category we will average the leader and follower's ages.
Please join us for a great day of dancing, and an evening filled with showcases!

Sincerely,
Anne & Laura
