It all begins with an idea. The Sheridan Market and Roadhouse and the Sultana Stage is committed to performers of all ages and abilities. The idea for this contest started when first visiting other great competition venues, yet the Senior, or the ‘Grand Diva’ Ladies had to compete with much younger and agile competitors. This Competition celebrates the OVER 50 dancer, however, we have categories for ALL AGES!
