Welcome to Kaleidoscope Dance Awards

Join us for our 31st season!

Kaleidoscope Dance Awards made its’ debut in November 1994, at a time when no competitions ventured in to New Hampshire.  Under the direction of Melissa Hoffman, a 35-year studio owner and adjudicator, Kaleidoscope has become known as the “dance family competition” and “the dress rehearsal for the season”.  Our judging panel speaks non-stop in order to help studio directors, choreographers and dancers learn from their performance.  The atmosphere amongst studios is always supportive and friendly!  After all, that is what it is all about– education and friendships!
