Domain Dance | Dance Studio By Design

WHAT IS DOMAIN DANCE®

Domain Dance® is a six-level dance curriculum designed to organize the core skills students need for consistent progress in the Dance Classroom®. The curriculum focuses on turns, jumps, flexibility training, performance quality, and choreographic patterns. For the 2027 dance season only levels one and two are being introduced.

Built on ballet and traditional jazz foundations, Domain Dance® gives dance educators a clearer way to plan instruction, identify age-appropriate skills, and measure student growth. It also helps parents understand what their children are learning and how their skills progress from one level to the next.

Domain Dance® is a separate, rubric-based dance subject offered exclusively through our company. This structure provides objective rather than subjective adjudication at American Sport Dance Games® meets. All ASDG judges are certified to adjudicate meets and teach at our conferences.

Domain Dance® provides the curriculum foundation for American Sport Dance Games® meets. At ASDG meets, team routines are evaluated using a structured rubric aligned with the skills and performance expectations taught through Domain Dance®, a new dance subject genre. An introduction to the curriculum and scoring details are presented during Domain Dance® workshops.

Domain Dance® begins with a 90-minute public workshop introducing dance educators to the curriculum, Levels I and II, AI tools for the dance classroom, and new opportunities for a dance studio's performance teams.

How Levels I and II will begin during the 2027 dance season
How clear levels can support student progress
How the curriculum can help teachers work toward shared goals
