Where the funds go

Every dollar raised at the fundraisers and after parties stays with the community: it funds competition prizing, outfits dancers who need costumes and clothing, puts less-fortunate dancers through training on scholarship, and is shared with selected 2SLGBTQIA+ charities.

Prizing

Cash awards, titles and category prizes for winning routines across all eleven categories.

Costumes & clothing

Costumes, shoes and dancewear for competitors who need support covering them.

Dance scholarships

Training and entry scholarships for talented dancers facing financial barriers.

Community giving

A share of every dollar raised is donated to selected 2SLGBTQIA+ charities.
