ENKOR
THE DANCE OFF NIGHT | JUNE 19th
From FINALS Competition results, each studio’s highest-scoring Group, Line, Extended Line, or Production in each age division becomes eligible to advance to ENKOR.
Up to ten (10) studios advance in the Mini, Junior, Teen, and Senior age divisions, and up to five (5) studios advance in the Little ONEs and Open age divisions.
These selected routines return to the stage for one final performance that highlights their talent, artistry, and vision.
THE JUDGING PANEL
At ENKOR, routines are evaluated live by a distinguished panel of adjudicators.
Judges consider technical precision, artistry, staging, and overall impact — weighing both excellence of execution and depth of expression. Their deliberation identifies the routines that embody the highest standard of THE ONE.
From this evening of extraordinary performances, select routines will move forward in contention for THE BEST of THE ONE 2026.
FROM ENKOR TO THE GALA
ENKOR is a defining moment.
The following evening, at THE ONE Nationals GALA on June 20, age division winners will be honored with cash awards, and one exceptional routine will be named THE BEST of THE ONE 2026.
That routine will return to the stage once more — performing live at the GALA in a final celebration of artistry, excellence, and distinction.
