What Studio Owners Are Saying:

Over the years, our Showstopper family has extended through the relationships we have built and friendships that we have formed. Throughout our 31 years in the dance industry we have had the privilege to work, learn and share our experience with many studios from across the country representing thousands of performers. Through the words of encouragement, advice and constructive criticism, Showstopper has been able to receive the highest accolades and praised from studio owners, performers and national media. These thoughts and comments help the entire staff put their best into making the Showstopper experience one you’ll never forget. Whether it is comments on the sets, staff or the overall experience, we value every comment. Here are a few we received and would like to share with you...

"We have in the past ten years attended several different competitions and Showstopper is by far the best. We have searched for many years to find a competition that we call "Home" and we have found that in Showstopper."

"We actually model our company after theirs and hold ourselves to the same standards."

"Showstopper is our favorite show. It is the most special competition for students because Dave and Debbie Roberts show that they genuinely care for the student. It truly is an honor to be at Showstopper."

"Thank you soooo much for airing both stages this year. Due to breaking my foot I was unable to come down to Myrtle Beach with my students. Even though I couldn't be present, I was able to watch and cheer them on from afar. I congratulate you on yet another wonderful Finals, as the kids have come home raving about their experience and can't wait until next year!"

"They have a great location and we always leave with a positive experience."

"At Showstopper you don’t feel like you’re just a number, you feel like family because you get to know everyone year after year as well as get to know Dave and Debbie personally. We always feel like we get our money’s worth at Showstopper and Dave and Debbie are great about giving back and making sure the dance teachers feel special."

" Just wanted to say that my studio and I had a fabulous time this past weekend. Your competition is truly SUPERB!! I have been to numerous competitions but there's only one SHOWSTOPPER. You guys Rock!"

"With Dave and Debbie running the show, the kids are always encouraged to do their best without feeling the pressure to have to win."

"When we go to Showstopper, we know we are competing against the very best."

"There are so many memories and good times. When the kids go to Showstopper they know they are not at a dressed up regionals, when they win, they know that they have accomplished something – it is a true win – a personal award."

"I just wanted to compliment Showstopper on their FANTASTIC
website. I do web authoring and I AM impressed. My niece competed in Nationals from Minnesota and it was so exciting to be able to watch live video of the competitions and check on the results. Thank you
for producing a superb website and allowing family members in Minnesota to watch their favorite niece! "

"When they bring those sets, lights and sound – the kids feel like they are the biggest things around."

"Showstopper is full of electricity. While the dance competition world has changed since I began 30 years ago – Showstopper has always kept up the same energy and electricity year after year."

"It is great to go have fun and be adjudicated for the hard work we have put to getting here."

"After a Showstopper event, you remember why we’re in the business of dance."

"There is no comparison of Showstopper to the other competitions. Showstopper is the most professional both in sets and staff."

"We go back because it is such a 1st class operation; the caliber of lights and sets as well as the camaraderie – it is just a great feeling throughout the entire event."

"Dave and Debbie get to know all the kids. We get great feedback from all the parents when we attend a Showstopper event because they are nice to not only the studio owners but their families as well."

“I’m sure I speak for many if not all the parents of the dancers at your Anaheim competition when I say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for the individualized schedules you sent out for each dancer. What a great thing to do for us parents. I’m sure it was not an easy thing to do, and I just wanted you to know how much it was appreciated by EVERYONE at our studio.”

"It is the overall feeling you get when you go to a Showstopper event from the sets to the staff, it is the biggest competition I know of."

"The best thing about Showstopper is that the kids always leave happy and that’s what’s important."
