A performance in The Solo Showcase puts you in front of every recruiter in the room—it is a high-impact, high-visibility opportunity to demonstrate exactly what makes you stand out. While it is not a competition, you will receive feedback and scoring from the recruiter panel so you know where you shine and where to grow. There are only 50 spots available in each city.
*All Solo Showcase performances are limited to 90 seconds. Dancers must be registered for either The Dance Experience or The VIP Experience in order to participate in the Solo Showcase. Solo Showcase registrations alone are not valid event registrations.

With The Coach Experience, you'll receive access to all convention classes for observation, plus dedicated seminars built specifically for our recruiters, coaches, and dance educators, as well as catered meals throughout the weekend. Experience Prodigy through the eyes of a recruiter - all while supporting your dancers on your team / at your studio.
THE PARENT PASS | NATIONALS | Sandusky, OH
Cheer your dancer on—respectfully and up close.
Parent Passes allow parents/guardians of registered dancers to observe convention classes from designated areas inside the room. Passes are not required for the welcome show, The Solo Showcase, or closing show.

PRODIGY JUNIORS (Ages 8-12) | NATIONALS | Sandusky, OH
Where the Next Generation Begins.
Prodigy Juniors is a specially designed two-day experience for dancers ages 8–12, taking place Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning during our event weekend.
This program offers age-appropriate classes, strong technique foundations, and confidence-building opportunities with our Prodigy faculty. Juniors train, grow, and get inspired — all while being introduced to the world and style of college dance in a supportive, high-energy environment.
Prodigy Juniors is focused purely on training and exposure. There is no recruiter component at this level — just incredible instruction, encouragement, and an exciting first look at what the future can hold.
THE VAULT UPGRADE (Ages 13+) | NATIONALS | Sandusky, OH
The Vault Upgrade is where serious dancers separate themselves from the crowd.
This premium add-on gives you the power to customize your dancer profile with expanded details—including the ability to upload up to three of your own dance videos, as well as photos. Feature studio footage, competition solos, class moments, choreo clips… anything that shows who you are as an artist.
What makes it next-level?
Every college recruiter at Prodigy gets access to The Vault. So even if the recruiter you’re dying to impress isn’t in your city, they’ll still see you, your videos, your style, and your potential inside our exclusive vault system.
With the Vault Upgrade, your talent isn’t limited to one weekend or one room—it lives on, plays back, and keeps working for you long after the convention ends.
