About Us

OUR STORY

2021 marks 6 years since we started our little comp which has now grown to be of Australia’s largest family run dance competitions.

We started off our competition as dance parents of our own dancers, trying to raise money to send our Ballet Dancer son to New Zealand, but did not want to start a ‘Go fund me page’ however did not have the ‘extra funds’ to cover all of the expenses. We all know that dancing can be expensive, especially when your dancer is competing at an international level.  We wanted to give anyone who donated some ‘Bang for their Buck’ This is how Time to Shine Dance Comps was born.

We quickly found out that running a competition is not as easy as many think, and costs a lot more than people realize, but we learned a lot and had so much fun and had so many request from people to run another. One competition, quickly turned into 5, then 12, and then last year we scheduled a huge 32 competitions throughput Australia!

We pride ourselves in being family run, and having been a seasoned dance parent myself for many many years, have taken the good from the bad at all styles of dance competitions to create our own Style of Competition, that is encouraging and rewarding to all levels of dancer!

We offer constructive and encouraging critiques from our adjudicators and all adjudicators are selectively sought after and have been employed not only for their dancing ability but from their teacher and adjudicating ability. Not all teachers can adjudicate and not all adjudicators are great teachers, We make sure we only get the best!

Time to Shine Dance comps are known for our relaxed and supportive atmosphere and we encourage dancers of all levels to participate. We look forward to having you at one of our Regionals close to you soon!
