Best of the Best winners will face off for a coveted invitation to represent Atlanta Open at Ohio Star Ball this November.
The excitement begins even earlier with Atlanta Open's Congress on Thursday evening - complimentary for all competitors! Join sought-after coaches Marianne Nicole, Igor & Polina Pilipenchuk, Bill Sparks and Martin Cawston as they inspire, motivate and get dancers ready for the competition floor!
When the daytime competitions wrap up, Atlanta Open's evening events bring their own signature magic!
In addition to our Professional Competitive Events on both nights, Friday evening's Cola Club Night Nightclub Event gives competitors a taste of Atlanta with a nod to hometown iconic brand Coca-Cola. Dress in red & white or Coca-Cola apparel and create your perfect refreshment at our custom Soda Bar.
