TDILOGO FC

There's a new way of thinking for next year

TDI names the "State Category Champions" and IHSA names the "All-Around Champions" for Illinois Competitive Dance!

It just makes sense!   Your "events" are at TDI and your "all around" is at IHSA.   No need to develop hybrid routines or create 2 routines only to "throw one away."  Develop as many routines as suits your program. Choose your best to compete in the "open category"  at IHSA,  then take all your routines to compete for "State Category Champions" at TDI.  There is no need to allow these traditions to die or only compete head to head.   

 

Combine TDI 's State Category Championship and IHSA's All-Around State Championship to provide your team a complete series that builds your program,  honors your traditions, and let's you go "head to head" with the best of what you do!

 

 


IHSA Teams! 
  • Qualify at one TDI sectional (north or south) 
  • Compete at TDI's new Category State Championship 
  • Attend a TDI regional to prepare your IHSA routines in an "IHSA Open Category" judged by IHSA/TDI  judges using IHSA scoring.   

                                                                          Qualify and Compete using only 2 competitions!

Get TDI judges using IHSA score sheets - your best preparation!

Looking Ahead to 2015-16
TDI will continue to integrate its programs into the IHSA season in a way that makes the most sense for our coaches and our teams, including possibly moving TDI's State Category Championship to mid-January before IHSA finals. 
 
Let us hear from you!  Your input  over this next season will help us determine how best to promote the tradition of category competition that is so fundamental to our sport!
