This competition is NOT run by the Surrey School teachers… I cannot get you in without your GO CARD. They WON'T let you dance without it. They are very strict about this.
Failure to follow these rules may result
in disqualification/inability to compete.
Firstly, HCDC will be implementing a greater sense of growth by extracting competition from our event name. In turn, HCDC will now be known as Holy Cross Dance Conference. By doing so, we desire to provide a deeper learning experience for our dancers, coaches and judges. Our greatest purpose is to have dancers focus on their personal growth as an artist.
Moreover, we intend to introduce new awards, such as a Spirit Award, Creativity Award, Choreography Award, Most Valuable Dancer (MVD) and many more. We hope that we may, as a result, strengthen the world of Performing Arts by growing as individuals, as a team, and as a community. We desire to create an atmosphere of inspiration, motivation and passion.
Secondly, HCDC is holding a draw that will allow registered schools to win free registration for one team for next year's event! Fortunately, you have registered before this deadline, therefore you have been automatically entered into the draw. Good luck!
