EXPERIENCE THE DIVA DIFFERENCE
DIVA IS THE COMPETITION WITH A CAUSE
Diva Dance Competition is a proud supporter of the CdLs Foundation. Owner, Kym Yadisernia’s son Jack was born with a rare genetic disorder, Cornelia de Lange Syndrome. Diva was born as a way to spread awareness about CdLs, raise funds, and bring dancers together to do something they love for the greater good. To learn more about our cause visit www.CdLsusa.org
YOU'RE MORE THAN JUST AN ENTRY NUMBER
Diva’s unique live judging format provides dancers with a very personalized competition experience. The opportunity to receive immediate feedback from the judges provides an instant, personal connection between dancers and judges, making for a more intimate, classroom-like experience.
ALL PHOTOS AND VIDEOS ARE FREE
By participating in our competition, you are helping to support our cause, the CdLs Foundation. As a thank you, we provide all of your routine photos and videos for free. Photos are available for download during the event. Videos are available are available within two days after the event.
WE HAVE REASONABLE HOURS
We know how exhausting competition weekends can be. Out of respect for everyone’s time and wellbeing, we will never begin or end at unreasonable hours. We will never schedule dancer routines before 7:00 AM or after 10:30 PM, and we will not start until after school hours on Fridays. Our goal is to provide the most positive and personal experience possible to every dancer and studio and therefore we will never overfill an event.
The Benefits of Live Judging
Live judging not only provides a more personal experience for the dancers but also a more educational one. Instant feedback allows the dancers to apply their critiques immediately to their next routine and grow and improve as the day goes on. Dancers also receive their award right after their routine making for much shorter award ceremonies.
Professional, Pre-Screened Judges
Our judges are provided by a NYC based adjudicator staffing service, Impact Dance Adudicators. IDA judges are in-demand, professional adjudicators and dancers who all have experience behind the table and vast knowledge of ALL styles of dance. The judges selected to be represented by IDA are requred to go through a rigerous pre-screening process.
Our Cause...The CdLS Foundation
The CdLS Foundation is an important part of Diva Dance Competition's mission. Jack, Kym's son (pictured above), is well known as Diva's ambassador. With his infectious smile and contagous laugh, he travels to competitions inspiring our dancers reminding everyone that it's not just about the trophy. It's about educating, inspiring and giving back.
