Opening Number
The opening number dance is what starts the show! We choreograph a simple dance that we spend most of rehersals learning and at the end you introduce yourself to the fair! (This portion is not judged and no dance background is required.)
Fair Wear
Fair wear is our fun upbeat first judged look of the day. Pick an outfit that best fits a day at the El Dorado County Fair! This is a great oppurtunity to show the judges your personality! Fair Wear portion of the competition is designed to provide each contestant an opportunity to express her own personal sense of style.
Formal Wear
Show off your elegance and grace in a floor length gown. A contestant will have the chance to take the stage and model in a gown of her choice for the judging panel. This walk usually lasts between a minute and a minute and 30 seconds. While the contestant is walking, the emcee will read information about the contestant and soft music will play.
