The High School Street Dance Competition

The SSDW CONTEST is a street dance contest that pits high school dance club teams against one another in a battle requiring flexible thinking and collaborative skills. The aim of the contest is the training and discovery of young aspiring dancers.
For this year’s SSDW CONTEST, we are looking for video submissions of dance performances promoting your school dance club.
The competition is open to teams from all over the country. Teams should show not only dance skills but originality in terms of how they shoot and edit their videos, etc.
