Dance events in Myrtle Beach

Myrtle Beach hosts dance conventions, regional competitions, and season-ending finals. The Showstopper events listed below are held at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center, and some also use the connected Sheraton Myrtle Beach. Nexstar has also held national competitions in Myrtle Beach. Your studio director has the final word on which event, which days, and which venue your dancer is scheduled for.

Getting there and competition-day logistics

For the convention center, set your maps app to 2101 N Oak St, Myrtle Beach, SC 29577. Showstopper says its parking and venue details, along with prop drop-off information, are sent in a “Know Before You Go” email 3 days before each event, and that doors open 1 hour before the first scheduled routine.

Schedules are usually released only about a week ahead, so keep your check-in and checkout dates flexible if you can. Check-in at the condo starts at 4:00 PM and checkout is at 10:00 AM, which can help you plan around awards sessions on the last day.

Why the condo works for a dance family

Two bathrooms mean two people can get ready at once on an early morning. The in-unit washer and dryer handles tights, warm-ups, and towels between days, and the full kitchen with bar seating keeps snacks and meals easy on a tight competition schedule. The condo sleeps up to 6, so a dancer can bring siblings or grandparents along.
