World-Class Talent Experience, Inc. values a professional, fun, fair and safe dance competition environment. To ensure a professional experience for the artists, instructors and spectators it’s crucial that all routines are appropriate for family viewing. In the case where a routine is viewed “inappropriate” points will be deducted. Our judges will score on the “appropriateness” of the routine focusing on elements such as music, costume, choreography and concept. Should the routine be objectionable and / or offensive, it will immediately be disqualified.

 

The opportunity to perform on a live stage for friends and family is a fun and exciting experience for all! All attendees are expected to demonstrate respect and sportsmanship to others. Recruiting students from other studios is prohibited.

 

To promote fairness, World-Class Talent Experience, Inc. believes that every artist should be given a fair chance.

 

Artists may only compete with one studio per event.

 

If a routine cannot perform during their allotted time and award ceremony, the routine will be eligible for adjudication, but not an overall score placement. 

 

Video recording and photography during the competition is strictly prohibited. Anyone in violation of this rule will be escorted out by security and the content will be confiscated. This is done to protect the legal property rights of the choreographers, as well as the safety of the artists.  All attendees and spectators must respect and abide by theater rules.

 

Artists, studio directors, instructors and parents / guardians are understood to recognize the risks inherent with performing, setting up and removing props from on / off the stage as well as in / out of the venue. Participating in the competition indicates the acceptance of such risks by the artists, studio directors, instructors and parents / guardians. World-Class Talent Experience, Inc. and the hosting facility are not responsible for personal injury or property loss during the event.

 

Dancers may NOT exit or jump off the front or side of the stage at ANY time during a WCTE competition event (including performances).
