Are you ready for the hottest dance event on the planet?! It's 2012, and iHollywood Dance is taking its biggest leap forward since the very original summer intensive event in 2007, now becoming a whole new nationals and summer intensive extravaganza by adding a brand new competition portion to the event as well as the iHollywood Dance A-Lister Solo Showdown and "The Nominations" (Group Showdown) segments.
By bringing in the new competition portion as well as keeping the same intense classes, this is destined to be our HOTTEST YEAR YET, as iHollywood Dance is now called The Nationals / Summer Intensive all at one event for YOU. This summer, iHollywood Dance will also include an extra day while reducing the previous summer price by $200 for those registering in the competition. Be sure to register even just a solo, as you will be saving money!
As always, iHollywood Dance will still of course be providing the unique and inspiring unrivaled dance experience for all who participate, maximizing the learning experience by offering the most diverse and talented faculty. iHollywood Dance truly brings you the finest instruction from some of the world's most renowned choreographers, dancers and teachers. Classes this summer will range from jazz, contemporary, ballet, lyrical, tap, hip-hop, ballroom and more!

During our 6-day event, all dancers will participate in rehearsals in preparation for our famous iHollywood Music Video Shoot and our grand finale closing show. During our closing show, dancers will be dancing alongside fellow working industry dancers and our staff that is second to none. Dancers will also have the opportunity to compete in our brand new competition judged by our amazing line of teaching staff, ensuring the best possible feedback in the industry. The week will be finished off with our A-Lister Solo Showdown! Those who qualify will also be able to compete for the national title, winner of the ultimate iHollywood Dance A-Lister of the 2012 season.
All dancers will also be given the opportunity to have their professional headshots taken, waiving the typical 'sitting' fee. These are just a few of the opportunities all participants will be offered. This whole event will be documented on DVD and available to purchase for you. If you love dance this is a week you cannot miss out on, so come out and join us!

All dancers that were A-List Finalists or A-List Winners at any of our regional events over the 2011 Season are qualified to compete for the National A-Lister title. For the 2011-year only, dancers who were not selected at a regional event or were unable to attend may send in a video submission for consideration as an A-Lister and be able to compete at our Nationals/Summer Intensive for the National A-List Winner. In order to qualify, these dancers must send an email to info@ihollywooddance.com with a link to a video of them performing a 2-3 minute solo, including a paragraph stating why they think they should be considered to be an iHollywood Dance A-Lister. The subject line of the e-mail should be as followed: "iHollywood Dance A-Lister Consideration." Be sure to put a contact phone number, as to be considered through video a $45 fee is required. We will contact you through phone to process payment by credit card. If a check will be sent in the mail, just be sure to note that in the email. Once a submission is reviewed by our iHollywood Staff, a response email will be sent within a week, informing the dancer if they satisfied the requirements to be an A-Lister for this year's summer event.
All A-Lister finalists will learn their own special number for the closing show by one of our select faculty members on the day of arrival. The dancers will be split into two groups, Minis/Juniors and Teens/Senior, each learning their own numbers.
All A-Listers must have at least one solo entered into the competition. If a dancer has more than one solo, they must select ONE solo to represent them for the A-List competition, by checking the appropriate box on the competition registration form. This solo will compete in the regular competition as well in the A-List Solo Showdown tentatively scheduled to take place on the evening of Thursday, July 28, 2011.
On the evening of July 28, 2011, all A-List soloists will perform their solos beginning with Minis then Juniors, and so on. On that same evening, the final two male and female contestants in each age division will be selected. The Teen & Senior semi-finalists will perform their solos in the closing show. The Nationals A-List winners for all age divisions will be crowned at the end of our show. These dancers will be given the title as the 2011 National A-List Winners, as well as a free year-round scholarship to any iHollywood Dance event within the next 18 months!
Any competition routine that was not able to qualify at one of our regional tour cities (including solos) must pre-qualify in the Pre-Qualifying Competition taking place before the nationals competition on July 25, 2011. All dances scoring Silver, High Silver, Gold, High Gold, and Platinum in the Emmy and Oscar Categories also qualify to compete in our nationals competition. All regional tour rules apply for dances that are pre-qualifying. For the pre-qualifying competition, dancers will be adjudicated and awarded in their division however there will not be Top Score awards given out for the pre-qualifying dances.

Pre-qualifying routines that do not qualify for the nationals competition will receive reimbursements for their fees.
Competition for both Emmy and Oscar level categories will take place on the day of arrival. It will be a packed day of competition. Our faculty will judge all competition acts, and all dances competed will receive a DVD critique as well as written critiques from each judge.
In the event that a dance would like to compete that was unable to qualify at a regional event, a prequalifying adjudication only competition will take place, tentatively scheduled for the first half of the day on July 25, 2011.
The The Nominations (Group Showdown) of all the competition dances is tentatively scheduled to take place on our main stage Thursday July 28, 2011 immediately following our A-List Solo Showdown! "The Nominations (Group Showdown)" will be broken up into four sections. The Mini/Junior Emmy (Intermediate) Division, Mini/Junior Oscar (Elite) Division, Teen/Senior Emmy (Intermediate) Division and Teen/Senior Oscar (Elite) Division. In each division, the Top 3 Scoring Group Numbers will be "nominated" to compete for the winner of The Nominations (Group Showdown). A studio must have at least 50% different dancers in two or more separate groups for more than one number to be chosen from the studio to compete for the Nominations in a specific Age Division. If not, only the highest scoring number from the studio in that age division will be chosen to perform.

The 2011 iHollywood Dance Nationals/Summer Intensive event is industry leading with the best teaching staff on the planet! iHollywood's summer event includes EVERYONE listed on out tour faculty as well as many special guests. Why attend any other event this summer when you can catch all the teachers you love and admire all under one roof for you right here at iHollywood Dance! The week will offer up to 20 of the most diverse instructors for all participants to take classes from.
The week will offer up to 20 of the most diverse instructors for all participants to not only take class from but work with in smaller more intimate settings in creating the pieces for the Closing Show, Music Video segments and other special event throughout the week.
All participants will be taken on location to film their very own iHollywood Dance music video. Our goal with this experience is to teach and show the dancers what it is like to actually be on a live set, teaching them what they need to know for any type of video shoot. iHollywood is so happy to be the first dance convention able to offer this learning experience of what it's like to work professionally in the commercial dance industry for all aspiring dancers. During the shoot, the dancers will perform all class choreography that they will learn throughout the week and also their dances that they will be performing in the show. The video shoot will feature a full-size crew with everyone from directors to craft-services. There will be on-site choreographers for any changes directors need to be made. In the video shoot we will also be featuring our A-List Finalists.
The video shoot is truly the highlight of the week at iHollywood Dance. And as Benji Schwimmer was quoted saying, "There is no other intensive in the world that does something as extravagant and as cool as iHollywood Dance.
Another first that iHollywood Dance is proud to offer is dancers will be given the opportunity to have professional headshots taken free of the typical "sitting fee!" Dancers will then be able to preview their headshots and choose to purchase if they desire.

iHollywood Dance will end off its week with a spectacular closing show hosted by MTV's America's Best Dance Crew judge Dominic Sandoval and So You Think You Can Dance 1st Runner Up and Miley Cyrus world tour dancer Melody Lacayanga! The 2011 iHollywood Dance show will take place in the newly renovated Burbank Marriott Ballrooms on Saturday, July 30, 2011 at 7pm.
All dancers will perform in the final show in at least two fully choreographed dances choreographed by select faculty members. On top of these two dances, everyone will participate in an opening number dancing alongside Melody, Dominic, and other iHollywood Dance crew members! The faculty will also be performing special pieces in show.
The Top 2 Female and Male A-List Senior Finalists will be performing their solo pieces in the closing show where the ultimate National A-List Winners will be announced at the end of the closing show.
To top all of this off, the show will include many very special guest performances from some of the most sought after dancers, crews, companies and choreographers in the industry that are a great treat for the participants and audience to experience and witness first hand.
Some of these performances will include Justin Giles's SoulEscape Dance Company, members of Quest Crew, and of course our iHollywood Dance Crew members Lauren Froderman, Leo Morimune, Alex Wong, Twitch, Dominic Sandoval, Jessie Hartley, Cory Finn, and others! Family, friends or anyone who want to come and enjoy an amazing show are welcome. Tickets for the show are now available to purchase for only $20.00! Be sure to get them now, as the show has been a SOLD OUT event for the past four years with over 1,400 audience seats available!
