  • Invitational Nationals 2026

    Invitational Nationals 2026

    Starting season 6, we will attend nationals at the end of each season. This event will now by via INVITATION only to MOTION Company Members. All groups, solos, duets/trios are in the “Running”.

    This is to encourage the dancers to have accountability to their team and why we will be making this event an invitation only event.

    To be “invited”, qualifications include: completing their technique requirements and Consistently embodying our FLUID MOTION VALUES to have respect, discipline, dedication, passion, work ethic, humility, punctuality, positive mindset, professionalism, and team mentality!
    *we want to take the dancers that are most hungry to grow, to this event. Its not about winning, its about personal growth, through personal growth the wins will land. That is only possible if WE ALL WORK CONSISTENTLY! We want to provide some motivation to our dancers to do THE EXTRA WORK! We have “lost” and missed the mark by hairs in the past and we believe it is because our dancers (as a whole) can work a little harder. So lets bring out all the tricks and WORK DANCERS!

    Invites will go out March 15, and Competition Fees will be due APRIL 1st. *We strongly suggest booking your room as soon as you receive your invite.

    Fees: Solo = $180, Duet/Trio = $120 per person, Group = $100 per person, + $150 travel fee, + $20 re-block fee per dance since we will be having extra practices for them on saturday. Also we are aware on the website it says 5% discount if paid by April 3, this will not be applied towards your fees BECAUSE they also charge us a 3.75% credit card fee, so it is basically the discount is covering that processing fee.

  • Epic Dance Competition 2026 (Required Fluid & Motion comp #3) May 15-17

    **Competition Schedule 7-10 days out**

    UPDATED Event Location: Explore St. Louis convention hall, in America’s Ballroom

    Event Address: 701 Convention Plaza, St Louis, MO 63101

    please note we are only changing what competition we are attending. The weekend is the same and still local.

    We felt Nexstar was not the competition for our teams final event of the season and felt having had 2 Great prior experiences at Epic, that it would be better for us to attend instead.

    The only “complaint” of epic is one previously media you had to purchase separately, this is no longer the case and it now is free & included! Further, they only give out one pin per dancer verse routine for adjudications (endless this changed, not seeing this on their website). We strongly feel the pros vastly out way the cons. They give great critique’s, fair judging and they are always very professional and easy to work with.
