Please read below as the registration process for International Regionals differs slightly from the American process described on our website.

1. Requirements:

Audition Video
• The audition video may be of your dance group’s most recent performance.
• Make sure your video showcases the very best of your group’s abilities.

Acts can register for Junior Team Division or Upper Team Division, see below:

Junior Team Division*
o Groups must have a minimum number of 5 registered dancers.
o ALL dancers must be aged 17 years old, or younger.

• Upper Team Division*
o Groups must have a minimum number of 5 dancers who are 18 years and over.
o Groups can be comprised of dancers who are of mixed ages over & under 18.

* To be clear: Upper Team division may contain teams with dancers younger than 18
, but this does not work the other way around. As soon as a team has 1 member who is 18 years or older, the entire team must compete in the Upper Team division.

Once your group has submitted an audition video, the World of Dance Tour Team will begin the audition process. After your video has been evaluated, we’ll let you know the answer either way. Your group’s primary contact will be notified with whether or not you’ve been accepted to compete/perform.

**SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 2 WEEKS BEFORE THE EVENT DATE**

6. Main Stage Area & Back Stage Specs
At World of Dance, the following areas are available for dancers:
¥ Crossover: There is a crossover available to allow for dancers to switch between each side of the stage without being seen. Keep in mind that there may be stairs leading to each side up toward the stage.
¥ Dancer prep area: There is an area dedicated to dancers for stretching and preparing just before taking the stage. This area is only for the next 3 dance crews due to perform. Due to the nature of the venue, it’s pretty much impossible for us to offer proper dressing rooms to each of the hundreds of dancers participating in the event.

Got props in your act? All of them must go through a screening process. The World of Dance Tour Team must approve all performance props prior to the event date. To get approval, email photos of your props to the Event Manager before the event. All props must be fire retardant. Any prop that hasn’t been approved prior to the event will not be allowed on stage.
Due to time constraints, tech rehearsals will not be permitted on the main stage.
