First Ever Cosplay Dance Contest Announced

Keiichi.net Radio has announced the first ever Cosplay Dance Contest. Entrants will dress in cosplay outfits and dance to their favorite anime or J-pop music. A video recording of the dance must be submitted for judging, and the winner will recieve $100 worth of gift certificates for dance apparel and anime apparel.

The Cosplay Dance Contest is not for “Ravers.” “If you want to rave, go somewhere else,” said contest organizer Jose Ramos. “We’re looking for dance which is in a recognizable form… Jazz, Acrobatic, Lyrical, Ballet, Pointe, just to name a few.”

Starting on Labor Day, those interested in entering the Cosplay Dance Contest must submit an e-mail notification. Entries will close on Monday, September 19, or when twenty completed entries are received, whichever occurs first. Contestants will then have at least three weeks to prepare costumes and dance routines, then two additional weeks to record their solo performances and submit them to the contest.
