Recognition
Studio Awards
Our Highest Honor
Legendary Studio
Studios competing in multiple genres with at least 20 group entries qualify.
Hype's ultimate studio award. The highest-scoring entry from each qualified studio receives this honor.
Dancers in the winning entry will receive:
- ›All competing dancers in the winning entry receive FREE access to current-season Intrigue/Hype Nationals workshop classes.
- ›20% off Nationals registration for the winning entry — applies only to the same entry with the same dancers that won regionally, and only if that entry is competing at Nationals.
Qualifying studios can only earn one Legendary Studio Award per event. The award is non-transferable: the dancers redeeming the benefit at Nationals must be the same dancers who competed in the regional winning entry, and the dancer count must match the winning entry exactly.
Cutting Edge & Legendary
Overall Awards
Beyond category and division placements, Hype awards the top Overall high scores at every event. The Cutting Edge and Legendary Levels are scored and awarded separately, so each studio competes for overalls within its own level.
