California Dance Classics is not a dance school but a youth ballet and contemporary dance competition organization based in Sherman Oaks, California. It presents adjudicated classical ballet and contemporary events for student dancers aged 4 to 21, drawing entrants from across the United States and abroad. Its 2027 season comprises three events: San Diego at the Joan B. Kroc Theatre (4-7 February), San Francisco at the Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts (17-21 February) and Los Angeles at the Downey Theater (3-7 March). Competition categories cover Classical Repertoire, National Character, Neo-Classical and Contemporary. Each event day opens with an onstage master class, and participants receive audio-video adjudication feedback and scholarship opportunities. Admission for audiences is free. The organization is supported in part by the Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture.
