Please ensure a studio representative is present for all award sessions as awards cannot be shipped or picked up at a later date. This includes Grand Awards at the end of competition.
Our schedules are designed to minimize absences from work and school. Before finalizing the schedules, we will email a copy of your school's registration data to verify accuracy. Final studio schedules will be sent to dance schools one month prior to the event. Please note that any errors in a dancer's date of birth in the system will result in their media key not functioning.
