What Others Are Saying About DX All American
“DX All American takes competition dance to the next level. It has pushed me to be a better dancer, student, and community member all while building important life skills. This competition is the ultimate challenge and Xtreme fun!”
ASHLEY JELKEN, All American Candidate
“The DX All American competition prepared my daughter for applying to colleges AND auditioning for her current college team. Great overall experience. Sign up!”
“One of my favorite parts about the DX competition is the All American Scholarship program. It includes writing an essay, doing an interview, completing an application, seeking letters of recommendation, submitting a transcript, and performing their dance solo. I am so impressed that a dance competition puts so much value in building these young people into strong adults by valuing these skills”

“Thank you so much for once again hosting an amazing dance event. This was our 3rd time at DX, and it is always a highlight of our dance season. I specifically wanted to thank you for offering the All American option as part of the dancer’s solo experience. I love the fact that you take the time to recognize that these dancers work hard in areas outside of dance too.
My daughter Juniper chose to participate in the All American for the first time this year, and she really enjoyed it. She is an avid reader and loves writing, so getting the chance to submit an essay and also be recognized for her academic achievements was wonderful. The interview portion made her nervous, but seeing her confident smile when she finished it just confirmed for me how great an opportunity it is for the dancers to gain new skills.
Juniper was awarded the championship trophy, and of course the coveted Rebel backpack, for her essay as well as the academic achievement award. Her genuine look of shock and beaming smile on that stage when her name was announced was everything. What an amazing experience you have provided for these dancers to be recognized on a big stage. DX truly goes out of their way to create a one-of-a-kind competition, and I hope you know that all the “extras” are recognized and appreciated by the dancers and parents alike.”
