Online Viewing
We do not live stream any performances.
All performers and coaches will be given access to view all available performances. Access will be automatically granted to the email addresses supplied during registration. Some performances will not be available for viewing at the discretion of event management.
Access will be available approximately one week after the event is over and stays up for 6 weeks after the final day of the event, after which videos are archived.
Performance videos are view-only and not downloadable. If you are a performer and would like to download your video, please purchase it through the link below. This is typically the best way to share viewing with friends and family, because you can post or share your video directly with them. Competitors will receive a link to download purchased video approximately one week after the end of the competition. Photos will not be available for this event.
Everyone else can purchase access to the event for $20. We will not be granting access to individual performances or divisions due to administrative overhead.
Health and Safety
Top-of-mind for many competitors is how to navigate the ever-changing Covid landscape. At this time we're going with the rules in whatever location we're holding the competition, and for this event that means no vaccine requirements, no masking requirement, and no social distancing requirement. We will, of course, support the personal decisions of each person who attends, but we believe medical decisions are best made between individuals and their doctors and parents (if they are a minor). We are encouraging anyone who feels uncomfortable with this decision to perform using the virtual option, which allows everyone to have more control over their environment.
Another question we occasionally receive is emergency care. After extensive conversation with studio owners and performers we are taking the common-sense approach of knowing when to call the professionals, rather than having a dedicated medical individual on staff. Much like when you attend your regular classes or engage in performance opportunities, we will rely on the excellent emergency response of local health care providers. Again, if you are uncomfortable with this decision, please use the virtual performance option, where you can arrange your own medical professionals to be available to you, should you wish.
