The Relevé Experience

Competition.

Solo, duet, trio and group categories across all styles — judged on ability, talent, individuality and technique.

Critique.

Every performer receives real-time feedback from industry professionals. No extra cost. No exceptions.

Celebration.

A weekend of performance in a professional theatre, built around the people who make it happen.

A dance and performing arts competition held at two iconic theatre venues — designed to showcase talent, deliver honest feedback, and celebrate every performer who steps on stage.

Two competition locations. One Relevé experience.

What's New

2027 Updates.

Song & Dance

A dedicated Song & Dance section separate from other styles. Open across all age groups — solos, duos, trios, small and large groups. Solos, duos and trios are mic'd up so their talent is both seen and heard.
