All dance teams selected may be scheduled to perform any time from THURSDAY November 17th - SUNDAY November 20th, 2012. This means that your team may be selected to perform at the PRE-CONGRESS PARTY on Thursday November 17, 2012 at Cafe Cocomos.
PLEASE RESPECT THE TIME LIMITS! 5 Minute Max for all Dance teams / 3 minute max for Couples.
Bring at least two (2) CDs with ONLY the music of your performance on the CD.
TIP: When mixing the performance music on your CDs, please mix it on different brands of CDs. Some equipment do not read all the brands of CDs out in the market today. Please bring these CDs to your scheduled tech rehearsal. Final performance schedules and rehearsal times will be determined about two weeks before the Congress.
Tech rehearsal: You must rehearse your number on stage with your full team at your designated Tech Rehearsal. The rehearsal time will be given to you ahead of time. Once it is confirmed, it is mandatory that you show up to the rehearsal or you will not perform.
