It began with two successful events in 2004 and has since expanded to include School and University Dance in its yearly locations. Strive Dance Challenge values customer satisfaction and has a high rate of returning studios and schools, achieving this by taking into account the feedback received and making necessary improvements to provide a fair and efficient competition in a positive atmosphere. The competition is designed with the competitors, parents, teachers, and studio directors in mind, and this remains the core principle behind every event.

Inspire Dance Challenge - Hamilton 1
2023-03-23 - 2023-03-26 | Hamilton Convention Centre, 1 Summers Lane, Hamilton, ON, L8P 4Y2, Canada
In 2010, Inspire was launched with the goal of giving every child the chance to succeed through public performance. Our aim is to provide opportunities for all performers to feel accomplished, regardless of their skill level.
Although we do have winners and scores in this competition, we believe that every effort is worthy of recognition. Each performance represents a moment in time where there are factors that are within and outside of the performer’s control. For example, a performer cannot control who they are competing against or how hard that person has worked. Sometimes, the competition may have a better execution, but that does not diminish the bravery and effort that the performer put into their own performance. At Inspire, we reward excellence, but we also value every performer’s courage and hard work.
