A strong focus on the best possible stages and venues – theatre-grade lighting and pro audio at every stop – gives dancers a true competition experience at all our events.
Accurate schedules and events that run on time (or ahead!) give dancers, parents, and teachers real flexibility throughout the day at each event.
Fun, safe, and welcoming at every location – family-owned and operated for 40 years, making Candance the perfect competition for your dancers and their families.
Competitions give dancers a high-stakes stage several times a year – teaching them to rehearse effectively and work efficiently in class. Competition dancers know how to work the stage, simply because competitions give them the chance to do so.
Dancers hear personalized thoughts and expertise from dozens of industry professionals after each performance – helping them and their teachers dissect choreography and make every performance more compelling.
Get your face in front of industry experts and build lasting connections with like-minded peers – a huge asset down the road when auditioning for your favourite productions.
Intensives, audition invitations, conventions, Broadway shows and university dance programs offer millions in scholarships to competitive dancers – opportunities constantly in front of you during competition weekends.
Competitions push dancers, teachers, and choreographers to become better – constant inspiration that proves the human body has few boundaries.
Featuring the Title Soloist Competition, Dance Off, Novice/Pre-Competitive Nationals Dance Off, exclusive Gala Awards Event & Convention Classes all week!

Rogers Centre – National Finals
55 Colonel By Dr – our grandest staging of the season, steps from Parliament Hill and the Rideau Canal.
Candance offers exciting features and events all season long, giving dancers of every age unique contests and giveaways beyond the traditional elements of a dance competition.
Each studio can qualify two 12 & under group routines and two 13 & over group routines. Routines must receive a Diamond award to qualify.
A prestigious dance honour – studios combine their top five junior and top five senior group routines, each in a different genre, to compete for the Cup.
Our TOP 15 dancers will now be announced and welcomed to compete under the big lights on our National Finals stage this season.
Top 10 group routines dance off for top awards. One routine per studio – and no Diamond award needed to qualify.
At every Regional and at National Finals, our directors select one standout routine – any category, any age – to be featured at the Diamond Dance Off.
Congratulations to Studio de Danse Danielle (Quebec) and Dance Inc. (Ontario) – our $5,000 senior and junior National Champions!
Registration for the 2k27 tour is now open via DanceBUG. Over 20 cities across Canada and the United States this season. Reserve your studio’s spot, or reach out with any question – we’re a family business and we answer like one. Spots fill fast – reserve yours today.
