Performing Arts Scholarship Competition (PASC) is an exciting, high-energy event that celebrates talent, sportsmanship, and community. A positive and encouraging atmosphere allows dancers to support one another while performing at their best.

Judges present Special Judges Awards at each ceremony and surprise performers with Stand Out Awards immediately following exceptional routines. The final awards ceremony features a crowd-favorite improv challenge, with 100% of proceeds benefiting Dancers Against Cancer.

Top-scoring entries advance to the Grand National Championship at week’s end. Winners in each performance category re-compete at the awards banquet, where overall champions are crowned in two age divisions: 12 & Under and 13 & Older. PASC is more than a competition — it’s an inspiring experience that celebrates the joy and spirit of dance.
