Why Dance Studios and Competitions Trust Us
Dance competitions span multiple styles -- ballet, jazz, contemporary, lyrical, tap, and hip-hop -- each with solo, duo, and group categories across age divisions. A single regional competition can need 200-400 medals to cover all brackets. We produce die-struck zinc medals with dancer silhouettes, pointe shoe details, and custom studio or competition logos. Custom shapes like stars, music notes, and dancer outlines are popular for top awards. Most studio owners order 50-150 medals for recitals, while competition organizers order 200-500 per event.
Pro Tip: For competitions with multiple style categories, use one die design and differentiate with ribbon color per category -- purple for ballet, red for jazz, gold for contemporary. This saves die costs.
Custom Dance Medals from Studio Recitals to National Finals
A regional competition with 6 style categories, 5 age divisions, and solo/duo/group entries can need 300+ medals. Here's what works at each level.
Studio Recitals & Youth Programs
Studio recitals and youth showcases typically order 2" die-struck medals in lots of 50-150. Ballet slipper and musical note designs are the most requested. Studio-branded ribbons add a professional touch to the end-of-year ceremony.
Competition Teams & Regionals
Regional competition directors ordering across 6+ style categories and age divisions need 200-400 medals per event. Our 3" medals accommodate detailed competition logos and category text. One die design with reverse engraving per category is the cost-effective approach.
Championship & National Events
National-level competitions use 3.5" dual-plated medals, often in custom shapes like stars or dancer outlines. Glitter and translucent enamel finishes catch stage lighting for the awards ceremony photo. These are built for social media and studio wall display.
Soloist & Special Awards
Custom-shaped medals for Top Soloist, Best Choreography, and Judge's Choice awards. Dancer silhouettes and pointe shoe outlines translate well to custom shapes. Reverse engraving adds dancer name, routine title, and competition year.

Yes, but most competition directors save cost by using one die design with the event logo and differentiating styles through ribbon color or reverse-side engraving (Ballet, Jazz, Contemporary, etc.). We can also create separate dies if your budget allows.
Star shapes, dancer silhouettes, ballet slipper outlines, and music note shapes are our most requested custom options. Custom shapes use our spin-cast process and include the same enamel and plating options as round medals.
A regional with 6 style categories, 5 age divisions, and solo/duo/group entries typically needs 200-400 medals. Smaller studio showcases order 50-150. Our 50-piece minimum makes even small recitals feasible.
Yes. Translucent enamel creates a stained-glass effect that catches stage lighting beautifully. Pearl enamel adds a luminous, iridescent quality. Both are popular for dance awards and add visual elegance beyond standard solid colors.
Standard production is 14-17 business days after proof approval. Rush options are available for tight recital or competition deadlines. Start the design process 6-8 weeks before your event for comfortable revision time.
