Carolina Classic Competition  2007 

On October 6th 2007, it was with great pleasure that Ms. Patti Andersen Troy personally welcomed competitors and spectators  to the Carolina Classic Competition at our beautiful new Venue at the Sheraton Greensboro Hotel at Four Seasons in Greensboro, North Carolina. This edition of the Carolina Classic marked the first time in 12 years that the competition was held outside of Raleigh in order to offer a more prestigious venue for this growing event. With almost 1,000 entries from over 15 schools in a tri state area, the Carolina Classic offers a serious competition for rising star professionals and students.
 
Top Teacher prize money was $4,000, the Pro/Am Scholarships $1,000 as well as $5,000 for the Rising Star Professional Competitions and Exhibition Challenge to show Ms. Troy’s appreciation for your support in the past years.
 
Moreover, Ms. Troy announced that the Carolina Classic Competition was now part of the Heritage Dance Foundation. Due to this new association, the competition will have access in the future to special scholarships and grants for young junior competitors and rising professionals to assist their careers.
