THE DANCE COMBINE is designed for college coaches to recruit and connect with high school dancers on a national level. Coaches from all divisions will be recruiting dancers throughout the day, providing dancers with the opportunity to connect with them.

TRIBE 99 Hosts various events throughout each year. Here is the quick breakdown on the difference between each! 

THE DANCE COMBINE - 2.5 Day Format
This event is for those who want to gain national exposure in their college recruiting journey and connect with coaches. The event is NATIONALLY ATTENDED meaning coaches and dancers from across the country are traveling in to participate. This is your one stop shop to connect with 60+ teams in one place once per year. 

REGIONAL COMBINES - 2 Day Format
This event is perfect for those strongly considering a future in college dance! A consolidated version of THE DANCE COMBINE experience (see details above), REGIONAL COMBINES are attended by colleges that are in or near the region of the host city. These events provide more intimate recruiting settings so your chances of grabbing a coach's attention are even better!

OFFSEASON -  1.5 Day Format
These events happen each summer from June - August in cities near you! Each city is an all-inclusive summer dance intensive for those who want to be challenged to improve their skill set. OFFSEASON is perfect for dancers who are looking for the most well-rounded training experience on the market!

THE DANCE COMBINE will be held in Dallas, TX, in 2027!

Exact location details will be announced to attendees.

THE DANCE COMBINE is a groundbreaking event—the first of its kind! Designed by our recruiting experts, it brings dancers and college coaches together while also preparing dancers to showcase at their best.

Before the event, dancers complete important tasks to ensure they’re fully prepared, making the time spent with college coaches more productive and impactful. It’s not just about showing up—it’s about showing up ready to impress!

Our recruiting experts often hear the question, “Do I really need to attend THE DANCE COMBINE? If I’m good enough, won’t coaches just find me? Can’t I just make the team just based upon a solid audition?”

No one, no matter how much of a star dancer they are, can rely on chance in the recruiting process. Because of time constraints and their dance team’s budget, college coaches don’t have the resources to travel the country to see recruits, which is why THE DANCE COMBINE is so unique. 

The college dance team audition process has changed significantly in the last 5 years. Dancers can no longer show up to one audition and make their college dream team. It is crucial to have multiple connection points with college coaches to ensure the program is the best fit.  

You can become a collegiate dancer. There’s no better place to start the process than THE DANCE COMBINE.

A COMBINE MVP (Most Valuable Prospect), is determined through a pre-event application process. We identify the most elite dancers attending THE DANCE COMBINE in Dallas who are then labeled as COMBINE MVPS. These dancers are predicted to be at the top of their recruiting class. In addition to participating in all standard event components, they will have the opportunity to perform a 1-minute solo to highlight their specific abilities to the college coaches on Day 3 of the event. This distinctive label can be a game-changer in a dancer's recruiting journey.

COMBINE MVPS will be chosen by a Selection Committee based on:

• Consecutive Technique Video
• Combo Videos

COMBINE MVPS will be announced in April of 2027. See more information below on COMBINE MVPS. 

The most up-to-date list of colleges can be found at the link below. The colleges represent many divisions (DIA, DI, DII, DIII, NAIA) from all across the U.S.

It is one of our biggest priorities to ensure that each individual in attendance walks away with a very high-quality experience which includes having the appropriate space and sufficient time in front of college coaches to showcase themselves. The number of dancers permitted to attend will reflect these priorities!

The At-Home Pass is for dancers to submit their recruitment videos to be viewed by the college coaches in attendance. This option will remain available to all dancers, even if the in person event is sold out. See more info on The At-Home Pass below.

Yes! We want to ensure that any dancer who wants to be seen by college coaches has the opportunity to do so. This is why we created the At-Home Pass - a virtual experience for dancers to submit their recruitment videos to be viewed by the college coaches in attendance. 

If a spot opens up for THE DANCE COMBINE in-person pass, we will offer the option to upgrade in this order:

1. The At-Home pass holders, class of 2028
2. The At-Home pass holders, class of 2029
   

If a spot opens up for THE DANCE COMBINE: UNDERCLASSMEN in-person pass, we will offer the option to upgrade in this order:

1. The At-Home pass holders, class of 2030
2. The At-Home pass holders, class of 2031
   

Dancers who weren't able to get a Dancer Pass are HIGHLY ENCOURAGED to register for The At-Home Pass! This is a great way to showcase your talent and get exposure to college coaches. In addition, you'll get a list of the recruiting coaches' information, which includes any upcoming in-person recruiting opportunities associated with their schools!

The final date that we will offer any waitlisted spots (if available) will be March 12, 2027. The waitlist will be available after registration opens!

If you get upgraded to an In-Person Event, you will only pay the difference to upgrade!

We do not offer group registrations for our recruiting events. 

Our goal is to create a fair registration process for each individual participant. 

No, you do not need to have an account to register! You will be prompted to create your account after you purchase your pass

You’ll gain insight into how to strengthen your performance, better prepare for auditions and recruiting season, and feel more confident presenting your solo in a collegiate audition setting.

Plus, dancers selected in the Top 5 will have an additional opportunity to showcase their skills for college coaches on Day 3 of the event!

You’ll still have the opportunity to participate in the Solo Showcase! Even if you are selected as an MVP, performing your solo for our panel is a great way to gain valuable feedback from respected TRIBE 99 staff members and get the jitters out before auditions and recruiting season. Consider it an extra opportunity to perform, learn, and prepare!

The Top 5 Scoring Soloists will be selected to perform their solos for college coaches on Day 3 of the event. TRIBE 99 reserves the right to advance dancers, depending on natural breaks in the scores.

The solo showcase will take place on Thursday, May 13th. Doors will open at 4:45 PM. 

This is a great opportunity to get increased exposure to college coaches if selected. 

The audition process has minimal requirements, making it easy for you to audition for this event.

If chosen, you'll showcase supplemental material for college coaches, giving you MAXIMUM exposure to college programs. 

Take the leap! You can do it!

It's important to understand that the audition process is highly competitive, with only a limited number of dancers being chosen.

Furthermore, please keep in mind that this is just one of the many opportunities you may encounter in your recruiting journey to perform in front of college coaches.

Even if you audition and are not selected this year, you will still have the chance to showcase your talent and gain exposure to over 60+ college programs. You have nothing to lose!

COMBINE MVPS will have the opportunity to showcase a 1-minute solo on day 3. More opportunities will be discussed with selected dancers. 

Due to the live design of the coinciding showcases, only dancers who hold an in-person pass and will be attending the Dallas event will be able to participate in this audition.

A Selection Committee will evaluate each applicant. The Selection Committee is composed of a panel of evaluators who have expertise in the college dance team industry. They will choose dancers by reviewing and scoring all auditions.

Official scores, the evaluation process, and feedback for this audition will not be disclosed. However, in-person attendees will still receive their TRIBE 99 COMBINE SCORE post event!

There is not a set number of dancers chosen to attend.

The Selection Committee will focus on making sure the top dancers selected share the same standards of excellence and match the requirements that top college coaches are looking for in their recruits.

The college dance team audition landscape has changed significantly over the last 5 years. Many teams now require a video component as a part of the team’s recruitment or audition process. 

Not only does The At-Home Pass allow the dancer to share their recruiting profiles and videos with college coaches, but it is also one of the only opportunities that provides the dancer with a chance to learn how to put together a top-notch recruiting video.

Dancers can also utilize the masterclass routines for future recruit videos for their top programs.

Finally, the curated list of college program profiles provided through The At-Home Pass is essential to help you organize within the recruiting process.

Class of 2028, 2029, 2030, and 2031

At-Home Dancers will have the opportunity to join live Zoom Information Sessions this spring! These sessions are designed to give dancers a chance to learn more about College Programs — all from the comfort of home.

Each College Coach will receive every dancer’s full profile, including contact information, allowing them to connect directly with dancers following their video submission.

Dancers will also receive a College Program Info Sheet with key details about each program to help guide and narrow their college search.

All colleges listed in a dancer’s Top 5 Schools List will be notified of their interest.

Please note that every coach has different recruiting timelines, needs, and philosophies — so while we encourage outreach and connection, we cannot guarantee if or when a coach will contact you individually.

Quick answer: no. In order to ensure the quality of teaching and the detail of the movement, At-Home dancers will learn the TRIBE 99 routines via video in their own time.

At-Home dancers will be granted access to the combo teaching videos by the end of the day on May 25, 2027, after the Dallas event has concluded, and will have until June 4th to learn, record, and submit their material!

The TRIBE 99 COMBINE SCORE is based on 8 categories, some of which require evaluation of a live performance. As a result, participants in the At-Home Pass will NOT receive a TRIBE 99 COMBINE SCORE.
