Creative Master’s

TO KICK OFF OUR MONUMENTAL 25TH SEASON, WE WOULD LIKE TO ANNOUNCE OUR **NEW** PRESTIGIOUS EXPERIENCE:

THE CREATIVE MASTER’S CHALLENGE

We invite all professional choreographers and teachers to compete with their routines for the honor of becoming the CREATIVE MASTER, “Choreographer of the Year.”

The CREATIVE MASTER’S CHALLENGE aims to exhibit remarkable routines and choreography of any age, genre, level, or size your teachers or choreographers created this season.

The choreographer of the winning routine will be crowned this year’s CREATIVE MASTER “Choreographer of the Year.” The winner will receive the Creative Master’s title, an award, a featured article on the TE website and social media (highlighting the choreographer, the winning routine, and the school, along with a photo), and an All Access Pass to the following season’s challenge, allowing the winner the opportunity to defend their title (Details below).

CREATIVE MASTER’S CHALLENGE & AFTER PARTY Guidelines:
