Hollywood Bound, is the sister competition for Showcase National Dance Championships
Hollywood Bound will be produced by a highly trained and professional team under the Direction of Peter Oxford that has set the highest standards of Dance competitions in Australia and NZ under the same concept and quality that SHOWCASE has been producing since 1994 to meet the needs of the Australian Dance Culture. The carefully planned concept behind Hollywood Bound is to continually give more o
pportunities to Dancers from all over Australia and NZ in a professionally produced competition to perform for not only National Titles winning up against the Nations Top Dancers, but also the amazing prizes on offer, including major prizes of exclusive teacher trips to Hawaii for EVERY winning group act in "Battle of the Stars" and for the biggest prize EVER for groups in Australian Dance history of $20,000 in travel credit for the overall winning group act to travel to Hollywood. This fantastic award is not only a huge and major prize for the Dance competition Industry in Australia but another first by Peter Oxford to give more dancers the opportunity to travel abroad and expand their education in Dance.
*Groups for the $20,000 Hollywood prize will be selected at regionals to progress into the "Winning group studio of the year categoryโ for Nationals to allow for your studio plenty of time to prepare your winning act!
