FULL ARTIST PACKAGE
Official Dancer of the Year & Artist of the Year Registration
The Full Artist Package is the official pathway for dancers seeking consideration for Dancer of the Year and Artist of the Year, the highest individual honors of the ZENITH Tour.
Unlike traditional title competitions, these recognitions celebrate the complete artist through observation and evaluation across the entire Nationals experience.
