America's Greatest Dance Competition. Celebrating our 40th Anniversary in 2018, Showstopper is America's largest and longest running dance competition. Starting from America's first dance television show, America's Dance Championships, running on National Television for over 20 years! Now with over 50 locations across the United States, we provide dancers of all ages with an experience they won't receive anywhere else.  We have done our research - holding our competitions and conventions at top venues around the United States, from Disney Land to Universal Studios to Myrtle Beach to the nation's largest indoor water theme parks. Our events are packed with live entertainment, amazing vendors, luxury teacher suites,  and today's hottest dance instructors. We make dancers and teachers feel like the stars they are, with industry expert judges, custom performance LED background screens, professional dance floors and stages, and LIVE "pink" carpet events. 

Our competitions aren't just competitions, they are an experience you can not get anywhere else. Our founder/owners of Showstopper are just as involved in the company today as they were when they began the company 40 years ago. It's true, no body knows dance and entertainment better! 

First released this past Spring 2017, we also produce America's #1 Teen Dance Magazine, with distribution at over 500 Barnes and Nobles nation wide. We highlight and work with today's hottest dancers to provide content modeled perfectly for dancers all around the world. 

With over 100 workers of the Showstopper Family nation wide, we employ theatrical technicians, top dance professionals and instructors, stage managers, show directors, writers, graphic designers, marketing experts,  customer service representatives,  video and media experts, merchandisers, party vendors and performers, truck drivers,photographers and cameramen, and stylists.
