The Dancer's Cup Tour is the longest running tour of events in the DanceSport industry! Here are just some of the things that set us apart from other tour and series:

  • Prize money awarded to all Open Professional Semi-Finalists
  • Newcomer AND Senior Scholarships at every event
  • We're the only tour to have a representative at the "Best of the Best" finale at Ohio Star Ball!
  • The DCT organizers work as a family; There is no single person in charge.
