Team USA Winners 2010
Dancers from across the United States arrived in Providence, Rhode Island this past summer seeking a coveted spot on Team USA. The event took place July 1st at the Rhode Island Convention Center where representatives from IDO (International Dance Organization) were on hand to judge and preside over the events.
The International Dance Organization selected Headliners as the one competition in America where dancers could earn placement on Team USA in order to compete in World Showdance and Hip Hop events. Dancers and routines are nominated at every Headliners regional competition. The finals are held each summer and run in accordance with IDO rules.
