Regional Competition Entry Rules
CLIENTS MUST REVIEW & HONOR OUR REGIONAL ENTRY LIMIT RULES ENTIRELY.
IF A PORTION OR ALL OF ADDITIONAL ENTRY REQUESTS ARE DENIED, REFUNDS WILL NOT BE GIVEN FOR SECURED CONVENTION REGISTRATION FEES AND/OR SECURED COMPETITION REGISTRATION FEES.
IN ORDER FOR ADDITIONAL ENTRY REQUESTS TO BE CONSIDERED, FULL PAYMENT MUST BE RECEIVED BY/BEFORE THE STATED REGIONAL REGISTRATION DEADLINE FOR YOUR EVENT.
Because every regional event consists of less than 3 full days to offer an abundance of quality dance education, amazing scholarship audition opportunities and an incredible competition experience, we operate under regional entry limit rules that allow us to prioritize and balance the focus in all these areas. We are not an event that prioritizes quantity over quality, nor are we an event that is willing to hold a 1 am awards ceremony. Our regional entry limit rules are designed to support the integrity of our event schedule and allow us to adhere to an obtainable, healthy and positive experience for every attendee.
There is not a solo, duo, trio entry limit at our National Finals competition due to the extended time we have available for scheduling at our summer event. 2 solos per dancer are permitted at Nationals. If a studio attends and competes any number of routines at any regional event within 12 months prior to National Finals, they automatically qualify to attend and register an unlimited number of entries at our National Finals. To find out more about our National Finals, please visit our National Finals event page. Please review the information below regarding our regional competition entry rules, including the ability to submit for consideration of Additional Entry Requests. Dupree Dance reserves the right to limit the number of solo, duo, or trio entries per studio if the amount of pre-registered entries exceeds the designated time available for the competition in that city. In this event, Dupree Dance would offer a full refund for numbers that are pulled from the line-up.
REGIONAL COMPETITION ENTRY RULES
-
A minimum of 5 registered convention dancers in our Launch-Senior ballrooms is required in order to register for a regional competition.
-
An unlimited number of group entries will be accepted.
-
Up to 5 secured solo, duo and trio routines will be accepted.
-
Requests for consideration of additional solo, duo, trio routines may be submitted during the online registration process.
-
Only 1 regional solo per dancer is permitted.
ADDITIONAL SOLO, DUO & TRIO REQUESTS
A studio may choose to submit Additional Requested solo, duo and trio routines by selecting to ‘add an Additional Requested routine’ at any time during their online competition registration. While data must be entered for consideration, you will not be charged for routine(s) entered as Additional Requests. The number of Additional Requested Routines accepted for each event will be based on the data of the secured competition entries.
Additional requested solo, duo and trio routines will be accepted/declined (space permitting) within a week after the formal registration deadline. Dupree will communicate directly with a studio regarding the acceptance of all or a portion of their Additional Requested entries, and will then provide the total balance due for those routines as well as payment options. Additional Requested routines balance will be paid separately, and due at a time closer to our event. This will allow a studio time to collect the fees of additional requested routine’s that are accepted in our line-up.
Full payment for a studio’s online convention and secured competition registration must be received prior to the consideration of their additional requested routines. You will be unable to request a refund or pull secured competition entries in the event that a portion or all of your additional requested solo, duo or trio routines are declined. If you have a personal ‘all or nothing’ policy for the inclusion of your solo, duo and trio entries in our line up, then utilize the ‘Additional Requested Routine’ feature to enter ALL your solo, duo and trios.
