Dance convener Elizabeth Field said more than 500 dancers would compete individually or as part of a troupe, in a range of styles.
It sees dancers compete in ballet, jazz, tap, song and dance, song and tap, hip hop, national, improvisation, contemporary, lyrical and neo-classical ballet.
"We have local talents who have to be within 80 kilometres of Warrnambool - including dancers from Hamilton, Mortlake and Timboon and visitors from places including Mount Gambier, Wendouree and Ballarat," Ms Field said.
She said the program was divided into sections with breaks in between.
"I try and mix the six and eight-year-olds together and the 10 and 12-year-olds together to give them a rest if they're in the next dance," Ms Field said.
She said the awards were presented at the end of each age group.
The competition runs from July 5-9 beginning at 9am each morning and is open to the public to watch.
