The opening
Why this idea is overlooked
Every city has dancers who want a stage and audiences who love watching them (the talent-show format has proven itself on television for two decades), yet most local markets have no recurring contest between the big national competition circuits and nothing; a well-run local series with fair judging and a real audience becomes the event studios plan their season around.
