COUNTDOWN has been the heartbeat of Southern California's dance community for over 15 years. We believe every dancer deserves a stage that matches their passion. We want your experience with us to be filled with memories your students will talk about for years to come!
To create an environment where dancers of all ages and skill levels can showcase their talents, receive valuable feedback, and grow as artists in a supportive, family-friendly atmosphere.
We celebrate the love of dance above all else. Every performer, from beginner to elite, brings something special to our stage.
More than competitors—we're a family. Studios come back year after year because they feel at home with us. Our goal is for you to leave The Countdown feeling like your families spent the weekend with our family doing what they love to do!
From our judges to our production quality, we're committed to delivering a world-class competition experience.
Our panel features industry professionals who provide constructive, encouraging feedback that helps dancers grow. They're not just judges—they're mentors.
Competition should be exciting, not stressful. We maintain a supportive environment where every dancer feels welcome and celebrated.
Every performance is captured in stunning HD quality. Access your videos through MyDanceRegister and relive every moment.
We partner with top-tier venues across Southern California to give dancers the professional stage they deserve.
