online registration system through Dance Genie.

● If you are registered but have failed to submit payment by the

requested deadline, your registration will not be processed.

● Each dancer may only represent one studio per event.

● Each dancer must enter using one name; the use of two names will

result in disqualification.

● All participants and attendees must always uphold a spirit of respect,

fairness, and professionalism.

​

 Registration Deadlines

      • Please register at least 30 days before the event. We never

overbook—once a show is full, registration will close.

      • Entries marked “in progress” at the 30 day mark without completed payment aren’t

considered confirmed.

      • Late entries may be accepted upon approval

      • A $10 late fee will be applied if not paid in full by 30 days before the event. 

​
