My daughter was a part of the Abstract Movement Festivals recently and I must say this was one of the best competitions we have been to! From the friendly greetings when you arrived, to an awesome array of “swag” in all styles and sizes, right down to everything running right on time! After two long years, it was amazing to finally be at a competition where it was truly FUN again.
Organized, professional and fun! My dancers loved this competition and we will attend for many years to come.
We absolutely LOVED attending Abstract Movement Festivals in their inaugural season! The staff, event organization, and overall morale of the festival were exactly what we have been looking for! Having knowledgeable dance professionals as adjudicators was a huge perk as well! We thoroughly appreciated the adjudication approach, feedback, and scoring! We cannot wait to attend more of Abstract’s events this coming season!! We highly recommend this competition!
