The Valerie Hazelton Dance-Off recognizes the 1st, 2nd, & 3rd place finishers in each Open Championship competition. These champions dance two steps of the contrasting hard shoe dance to the one of their championship competition for a three-judge panel. The St. Louis An Samhra Feis awards the winner the Valerie Hazelton Perpetual Trophy, a traveling trophy retained by the dancer until next year's event.
