Requirements

You'll performing in front of an audience in a public area, make sure you're comfortable with that!
You must have audio submitted prior to the date submissions close
Pre-registration is required. No day-of registrations!
Be on time! Anyone who does not show up to check-in will not perform!

Format

Meet outside the stage area 30 minutes prior to the start of the event to check in and be briefed on how the show will run, any safety concerns, or if the event needs to be moved to an inside location, where to find it. During the check-in process, you will be briefed on the stage, informed as to any prop restrictions during the performance, as well as be given the opportunity to voice any questions before the show starts. Any participants who fail to check-in during the 30 minute check-in time will not be permitted to perform, and will lose their spot in the Festival.

When the Festival starts, all participants will be given a transition time to get into position and ready themselves to perform. During this time, an MC will announce the group to the audience. If you have any special requests (such as cheering with penlights), please make sure to inform the MC prior to show start time so this adjustment can be noted.

This is not a competition event! It’s a showcase where you can dance and enjoy performing for an audience without worry of being judged or compared. Come and have fun, meet new friends, and most importantly, enjoy performing!
