- National Finals Information -
The Tremaine National Finals Convention and Competition takes place annually in Orlando, Florida, at the Renaissance Orlando Hotel at SeaWorld. Invited to compete in the National Finals are the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place Semi-Finals Winners from the Winter Tour Season. Along with the Competition, there is a five-day Dance Curriculum during Nationals because Dance Education is a necessity to the foundation of an excellent dancer.
*At the National Finals, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th place Cash Prizes and Trophies are awarded to to winning competition dance numbers within each age division (Junior, Teen, Senior) by category (duo/trio, group, line, production) and dance style (ballet, jazz, hip hop, lyrical jazz, tap, open). *Within each age division (Junior, Teen, Senior) Cash Prizes and Trophies are awarded for National High Score, Best Technical Performance, and Best Showmanship. It is announced at the National Finals Competition that these nine numbers will perform at the National Finals Gala, where they will compete for Performance of the Year. However, they do not find out until the gala which award they received.
*One very special recognition is presented for the Performance of The Year. This winning competition number is chosen from the top awards in each age division, National High Score, Best Technical Performance and Best Showmanship (nine total) by our Honored Celebrity Award Recipient(s), who choose thier favorite number based on their Gala performances and present them with the Performance of the Year Trophy and the Grand Prize Check.
