All dates and cities/venues are subject to change.
​
Minimal requests in regards to potential schedule conflicts may be submitted through the Dance Comp Genie studio registration in the 'Notes' section by the registration deadline (1 month prior to the event). Notes must include the routine(s) in question, and the specific date/time that the routine is not able to perform. While we will make an effort to assist with a schedule request, minimal requests should be made for very rare occasions. Dancers should not register for an event if they have a significant schedule conflict.
Scheduling requests and questions are handled through the Dance Comp Genie portal only;
we thank you in advance for your understanding.
If a competition is SOLD OUT, please contact us by email to be added to the waitlist.
Online registrations and full payment are due one month prior to the competition.
