General Rules

All entries must be paid in full by the given due date. No exceptions. Failure to pay by the due date will result in the school being removed from the competition. No changes to any entries two weeks prior to the competition date.  All entries are final and nonrefundable. 

SCHEDULE

Everyone will have access to the schedule through our website.  Every routine is assigned a performance time. We suggest dancers are ready to dance a half hour before their scheduled performance time in the event the competition is running ahead of schedule.  All entries must compete on the day and time assigned. Routines will perform in order. If the backstage manager sees potential delays due to costume changes, you may be asked to compete out of order.
