What is Dancefolio Talent Fund?
A video-based dance competition that rewards exceptional talent with real financial support
The Dancefolio Talent Fund is our annual initiative designed to uplift and empower dancers who show outstanding artistry, creativity, and potential. Dancers submit a short performance video directly through our platform, and the community—alongside a panel of professional judges—votes to choose the most inspiring artists.
Winners will receive financial grants, awards, brand partnership opportunities, and visibility across all Dancefolio channels.
When applications open, you’ll be able to submit your video entry for our upcoming competition. Each edition features a different theme—sometimes it’s choreography (you’ll create your own and perform it), sometimes it’s technique, ballet variations, or even set sequences of different styles you’ll learn and perform. Every round is fresh, challenging, and designed to showcase your talent in a new way.
Winners receive career-boosting financial grants, visibility across the Dancefolio network, and exclusive opportunities with dance brands, studios, and companies. The Talent Fund exists to help dancers grow, get seen, and access resources they deserve—no fees, no barriers, only pure talent and opportunity.
Dancefolio Talent Fund includes monthly grants, quarterly awards, an annual grand prize and additional perks such as brand partnerships, exposure, sponsored gear and much more.
In most editions, winners are chosen through both a Community Pick and a Judges’ Pick. The winners of both categories will receive a prize. The combined result of the two categories will also determine the final winner of each competition, who will receive a grand prize.
The Community Pick is determined through two voting channels: social media and our platform.
On Instagram, votes are counted based on the number of likes your post receives—just remember to tag our page so we can track your entry.
On the platform, the score is based on the total number of votes a video receives. All entries will appear on a dedicated page and a voting button directly underneath, allowing users to cast their vote with a single click.
Judges’ Pick scores remain confidential but can be shared upon request. Participants who would like feedback may request their judges’ evaluations, which will be sent privately via email.
Our panel of judges changes each edition to ensure fairness and equal opportunity for all participants.
