Dear Witches, House Elves, and Dance Crews of the Spooky Arts,

The cauldron is bubbling, the veil is thinning, and something wickedly wonderful is brewing in Port Royal, South Carolina.

We are thrilled to officially invite you to participate in the Inaugural Haunted Hallows Witch Dance Competition, a brand-new event conjured from the magic of the Haunted Hallows Festival, held annually on the Saturday before Halloween in historic Port Royal, SC.

Over the past few years, Haunted Hallows has grown exponentially—from a beloved local celebration into a regional Halloween destination filled with creativity, community, and spooky joy. As the festival continues to expand, we are summoning new events and opportunities, and this Witch Dance Competition is one of the most exciting yet.

🖤 The Competition

Dance teams will perform the iconic Witch Dance to “Wolfshager Hexenbrut” (widely available on YouTube) in its entirety. Teams must consist of at least four dancers and be heavily costumed—fun, spooky, serious, theatrical, or silly interpretations are all welcome.

Teams may also choose to perform a freestyle dance to compete in additional categories.

🕯️ Award Categories

Best Traditional Witch Dance

Best Freestyle Team Dance

Best Costumes (Team)

Best Single Costume

Best Team Spirit
(Think tent or staging décor, welcoming energy, group cohesion, and all-around magical vibes!)

Judging will take place throughout the day, with trophies awarded at day’s end in a mass celebratory dance finale worthy of the witching hour.
