WHEN WILL THE EVENT SCHEDULE BE AVAILABLE?
Schedules will be emailed approximately 7 days prior to the event to Studio Owners. NOTE: Schedules will only be available when accounts are paid in full.
AM I ALLOWED TO VIDEOTAPE OR PHOTOGRAPH MY CHILD DURING THE PERFORMANCE?
All photo/video of performances is strictly prohibited. This is in order to abide by copyright law and protect the privacy of the participating dancers, as the competition is open to all spectators. We have a professional videographer and photographer at every event capturing images and video for your FREE media. No recording devices of any kind are allowed in dressing rooms. Failure to comply with these guidelines could result in penalties for studios, disqualification of routines, and/or immediate removal from the event.
HOW DO LIVE CRITIQUES WORK?
The dancers are asked to stay on stage following their solo. One of our professional judges will provide live feedback over the microphone to the dancers. All feedback will be presented in a very positive, inspiring and constructive manner. This format allows for an educational experience where the dancers are able to apply their critiques immediately to their next routines with the purpose of improving as the day goes on. Note: the feedback given to the dancers will pertain only to what the dancers have control of ex: technique, execution, stage presence etc.
DO WE HAVE TO STAY AT THE HOST HOTEL?
