Dance Waves Competition is the largest dance competition in Belgium and The Netherlands in theaters for dancers of all levels and all ages in the dance styles: hip hop, modern, contemporary, jazz and ballet. All our competitions are in beautiful theatres with professional lights, judges and photographers.
Our goal is to bring young, talented dancers together during the competitions, to get them in touch with each other and to learn from each other while getting stage experience. Dance Waves Competition encourages young talent and promotes them by offering chances to compete on big stages with professional light, judges and photographers. Winners get promoted via YouTube, Facebook, Instagram,.. and via other social media. It is the perfect way to put yourself in the spotlight!

Everyone is welcome to participate (dance schools, teams, duos, trios and solos), don't hesitate to subscribe!

There are over 90 competitions on our program for 2025–2026!

You can participate in qualifying competitions in any country, and your points will count toward the National Championship in the country where you live. The more qualifying competitions you take part in, the greater your chances of being selected to participate in the Championship. More information can be found in our competition regulations.

Explanation (B), (J) and (T) behind the dates:

• For Belgium and the Netherlands: Ballet and Jazz & Showdance only take place on the dates marked with a (B) for Ballet or a (J) for Jazz & Showdance, because there are so many dates in those countries :) Modern & Contemporary and Streetdance will take place on all dates.
• For all other countries: All styles take place on all dates.
• Competitions marked with a (T) indicate that in those theaters there is space to allow more teams per category than at other venues. If you prefer a lot of apponants with your team, choose for these dates. There are fewer places for solos, duos and trios on these dates.

The start of registrations is different for each country:

• France: The registrations will start on Monday, October 20 at 10:00 a.m.

• South Africa: New dates will be announced at the beginning of 2026.

• All other countries: Registrations are open.

We are very much looking forward to all your participations!
