At the National Title Competition, Soloists also compete in Interviews, Class, and Self-Introduction in addition to their Solo Routine. They perform an Opening Number, have a Red Carpet Party, and have some exciting activities over the two-day event.
We DO NOT accept independent entries for competitions; you must be registered with a studio in order to compete at Boogie Fever USA.
Boogie Fever USA does not have a general scheduling format, which we follow at our regional competitions.
Every regional schedule is set up based solely on the breakdown of entries by solos, duet/trios, groups, and productions for that particular event. We do not have this breakdown in numbers until all of the entries have been processed, and at that time, we set up a schedule that will best accommodate the participants in that region. We would rather go later on a Saturday, so it is not a late night on a Sunday when participants have school or work the next day. This would not always be possible if we had a general format.
We will send out a schedule via e-mail to studio directors 8-10 days before the event; we will send it sooner if it is ready. We post the General Schedule Online about 7 days before the competition.
Entries must bring to the competition a recent 5 x 7 or 8 x 10 in black & white or color to the competition. Please write your name, age, and studio on the back of the photo. Photos will be returned at the competition, but contestants are responsible for retaining their photos on that day. Dance Machine ANDC is not responsible for any damages to the photograph submitted. You must enter photogenic on the day of the competition. You do not have to be a registered competitor to enter the photogenic category, but you must be affiliated with a registered studio. DO NOT SEND PICTURES OR MONEY FOR PHOTOGENIC ENTRIES-you must enter the competition. There is a $50.00 fee per photo entered in the photogenic category. Each photogenic entry will be awarded a trophy and receive a rating. Overall Photogenic Awards will be based on the number of entries submitted. Photogenic Awards will be presented throughout the weekend.
Each judge will give an audio/video critique. Scores and Critiques will be uploaded to studio accounts by the Wednesday after a competition.
