Frequently asked questions

No — the pre-selection fee is not refundable, whatever the outcome. What you do get: every applicant is guaranteed detailed feedback from both judges, whether you're selected or not.

Solo Debut exists for exactly that. It's for dancers with no prior stage or competition experience, and it's kept small so it doesn't feel like being thrown in the deep end.

Frame Up is floorwork and acrobatic movement performed in elevated strip heels. High Heels is standing choreography with roots in jazz, hip-hop and commercial dance. Both are danced in heels, but they're judged as separate categories.

Yes. Each category is a separate application with its own fee, so entering two means filling the form twice and paying twice. You'll get a separate confirmation email for each one.

There's no fixed choreography and no video pre-selection. You submit a song of your choice, any style, under 2:00, by the same music submission deadline everyone else uses. On stage, you draw a song at random from that shared pool — it might be yours, it might be someone else's — and freestyle to whatever you get.

Your application is cancelled and we won't count on you for the show. Being selected doesn't hold a place — paying does.

No. Videos can't be swapped once submitted, so check your link opens in a private window before you send it.

By card, straight through Stripe checkout. No screenshots, no manual proof to upload — you pay, we get notified, your status updates.

For most categories, yes — Wave 1 is the lower entry fee, Wave 2 is the same spot at a higher price, and the pre-selection fee doesn't change either way. Crews and Battles are the exception: both are flat-priced, so it doesn't matter which wave you register in.

No. A studio or rehearsal space is completely fine — we're judging the performance, not the venue.

Only in Solo Debut and Beginners, and only with your instructor's agreement. Every other category needs original or self-choreographed material.
