DANCE
The Cowichan Music Festival offers dance competitions in the following genres: Ballet, Modern/ Contemporary and Stage (including Jazz, Tap, Street, and Musical Theatre).
In addition to the competitions, we offer Masterclasses in Jazz, Tap, Ballet and Street, taught by our festival adjudicators. These classes provide participants with the opportunity to further develop their skills and learn directly from experienced professionals.
The adjudicators select the performers who will advance to the Performing Arts BC Provincial Festival. A complete list of rules and eligibility requirements can be found in the Syllabus below.
Registration is completed through a separate online registration system. Please use the registration link provided in the Registration section below. Please note that all Dance registrations are completed by dance studios only and not individual registrants.
