Looking for something to do with dance pins from competitions? This personalized shadow box is a great solution for storing all your competition pins. Download 4 different styles of dance svgs to personalize your shadow box for dance pins for free below!

How to Make a Personalized Shadow Box For Dance Pins

To make this shadow box for storing your dance pins, you will need:

Shadow Box Frame – I used this 8×10 shadow box (available in multiple colors) and it works perfect. The width is perfect for storing dance pins and medals and has room to hold well over 100 dance pins! If you think you will need something larger, you can go with a larger sized shadow box.
Permanent Adhesive Vinyl. For the dancer, I used this black permanent shimmer vinyl (which I am obsessed with) and purple for the name. If you are just getting started building up your vinyl supply, I recommend this variety pack of permanent adhesive vinyl.
Cricut Maker or Explore Air 2 Cutting Machine (or any other cutting machine) and this machine mat for cutting.
These Weeding Tools for removing the excess vinyl
This scraper or something similar to adhere and smooth your vinyl to your wooden board.
Transfer Tape for applying your vinyl
Dance Silhouette SVGs (Download Below)

To make your shadow box for dance pins:

Create a new project in Cricut Design Space
Upload your SVG File and resize as needed. For the 8×10 shadow box, 8 inches in height is a good size to go with.
Add the name to your design and place it in it’s spot.
Send your design to cut and prepare your cutting mats. If you are new to using adhesive vinyl, make sure to check out this detailed tutorial on using Cricut adhesive vinyl and layering adhesive vinyl.
Apply your design to the front of the shadow box.
Add a color piece of vinyl or cardstock to the back of your shadow box. I used this shimmer adhesive vinyl and applied it to the inside of the back of the frame.
Add your dance pins.

I love the way this personalized dance shadow box turned out! It’s such a great way to display (and not lose) all the competition dance pins. My daughter is new to completive dance, but she is excited to fill this up over the years.

Dance competitions for corporate holidays

If you have the role of an entertainer in a team and you are looking for something to diversify the festive evening, then in addition to toasts and congratulatory words, try to include dance competitions in the script. Definitely the bosses, and employees, will appreciate it. True, before their performance, the public must “ripen”, so it is better to turn them on after a few toasts. We bring to your attention several competitions. We hope they will make your evening unforgettable.

Design

The music for dance competitions is recognizable. It can be a folk tune, rock and roll, waltz, tango or a composition from a famous movie. The main thing is that it should be cheerful and characteristic, that is, it should fit the created images. And it is even better to alternate cheerful and fast melodies with slow and calm melodies, so as not to cause overexcitation or boredom in the audience. When composing a script for a dance competition, do not forget about the attributes that need to be prepared in advance. Also remember about short breaks where the audience can take a break, dance at their pleasure, drink a glass of wine or eat a sandwich. You do not need to put all the numbers in a row. It is good to alternate dance competitions with toasts, jokes and intellectual competitions (riddles, for example).

Rock and roll dance cocktail

Players pair up. The main thing is to distribute them at a safe distance from each other. The facilitator says what the players should do for certain words. For example, to the word "cola" the participants dance holding hands. When the host says the word "wine", the girls should jump on the guys' hips. When the toastmaster says “vodka”, the young people should put (put) the ladies on their shoulders. The strongest win!

Situational dance

Participants are divided into teams of 3 to 5 people. Each group is given a card that describes the situation: sunrise, forest fire, raging sea, wrestling in the ring, etc. The task of each team is to portray the situation in such a way that other viewers understand the action. At the end, all participants need to give out incentive prizes for their efforts.

Musical carousel

This game is probably familiar to everyone since childhood, but this does not lose its relevance and attractiveness, because it can always be diversified. So, the traditional version of the game: music sounds - everyone dances, the melody ends - everyone tries to sit on chairs. Whoever doesn't have enough is out. The second option: at the end of the music, everyone tries to sit on the floor, the last one lost. The third option: the girls sit on the backs of the crouched guys (there should be fewer of them). The fourth option: you can decide for yourself what to sit on for the players, for example, on a fitness ball. By the way, any dance competitions can be beaten in a way that suits you.

Dance on the newspaper

Several couples are chosen to dance. Each couple is given a sheet of newspaper, on which they must dance either to fast or to slow music. At the end of each melody, the page folds in half. Couples who stumble are eliminated. The game continues until one pair remains. If the players are equally graceful, in the end, you can invite the men to take the ladies in their arms. Long in this case, no one will last.

Conclusion

Dance competitions are interesting not only for young people, because their goal is not so much to show mastery (if any) as to amuse the audience. For example, couples with different heights, ages and builds look comical. When choosing participants, take this into account, but do not overplay so as not to offend anyone.

Choreographic festivals and competitions in Russia, Europe and around the world. Organization of participation in competitions and festivals.

Parents, sending their child from early childhood to various dance studios, pursue the goal of harmonious physical development of the child. Having received some skills and abilities during classes in a studio or in a group, young dancers and choreographers need to show their achievements in dance to the general public and the search for choreographic competitions begins. Participation in the competition means new emotions, excitement, the desire to win, the desire to be the best, which means improving the acquired skills and new development.

There are a number of festivals-competitions of children's and youth creativity, where among many areas of creativity there is a nomination - choreography. As a rule, such festivals-competitions of various genres are organized by travel companies and, in addition to performances, you are offered a ready-made tourist program with sightseeing tours of cities and visits to the most interesting cultural sites in the country where the festival-competition itself is held. Participation in such competitions is due to the fact that it is necessary to pay in full the participation package, which includes accommodation, meals, excursions. For beginners, going to European competitions is the best option to try your hand - everything is clear - every day of the festival-competition is filled with performances, excursions, master classes. Each group is provided with a local Russian-speaking guide. Usually the cost of a tour to such a festival-competition is more expensive than just a tourist package and this is due to the fact that the organizers of the festival-competition also invest in the cost of the program the costs of organizing and holding concerts, prizes and diplomas, which all participants receive in such competitions.

The next stage is when the child and parents decide to engage in choreography professionally and choose different directions - ballroom dance, classical dance, modern variety show dance. There are choreographic competitions in the areas of dance, where participants are only choreographic groups and soloists. The organizers of such competitions are former dancers, heads of their own studios, famous choreographers. The requirements for the participants of the competition and the dances performed are more stringent, strictly regulated in time. There are such competitions for young children, from 8 years old, in which you can try yourself and decide whether it is worth going further along the path of professionalism or just continue dancing for your own pleasure, and there are such competitions for children from 12-14 years old who decided in the future get a job as a dancer. Prizes in such competitions are often cash prizes, scholarships for dancing at summer schools and European dance schools. And in competitions for young professionals, a contract for work in the European theater can also be an award. The program of such competitions is designed to improve the technical level of dancers, contains competitive performances, master classes and does not involve excursions and any cultural program, so if you decide to travel to a European country for such a competition, please request additional transfer services, excursions.

Ballroom dancing competitions have long turned into a sport and this is a whole separate industry with its own rules.

A separate direction of choreography is folk dances. For teams that improve their skills in folk dances, we offer participation in folklore festivals, where you can meet different cultural trends and learn new traditional dances or characteristic movements. The organizers of folklore festivals offer participants accommodation in families and provide participants with meals during the festival. Applications for participation in such festivals are accepted at least half a year before the start of the festival, and the organizers themselves select teams for participation.
