About Us

At Thrive Dance Competition LLC, our mission is to create inclusive, educational

opportunities for dancers of all ages and skill levels. We are proud to offer events that

are artistically enriching, community-focused, and rooted in education. Our faculty is

always made up of highly trained industry professionals who are dedicated to inspiring

and supporting every dancer & their growth. 

What makes Thrive Dance Competition LLC unique is our commitment to inclusion and

accessibility—not only for students, but for instructors and adult dancers as well. In

addition to our traditional master classes and competition options, we’re excited to offer

a dedicated adult intensive at our conventions and workshops, providing a space for

teachers, studio owners, college dancers, and adult dancers to continue their own

training and development alongside the dancers they support. 

With over 40 years of experience in the dance industry, our Thrive Dance Competition Owner & CEO,

Erica Bevevino has seen all aspects of the dance industry and knows first-hand what is needed for dancers

of all levels, schools of all sizes, & refocusing on what is most important: growth,

education, and sportsmanship of dancers in the competitive environment. As a tiny dancer herself, 

a performer in many theater plays, such as Annie & a Chorus Line, a dancer and

choreographer for arena football teams and minor basketball teams, a studio owner

currently directing, instructing, and choreographing, creating well-rounded dancers

at both the recreational and competitive levels, and having raised two talented daughters

in the competitive dance environment, Erica’s mission with Thrive is to provide fun, fair events, 

with positive, friendly, and qualified faculty & staff, who share the same passion and goals with the focus

on more education and opportunities for young Thriving artists.
