Can ANYONE Apply to Perform?

Anyone who is attending 4 or more classes during Elevation 2016 can apply to perform in the Thursday or Friday Shows.

How do you decide who is accepted?

We want everyone to have a chance to perform! Groups are selected over soloists, and we are looking for the best variety within the shows. We like to honor our traveling performers as well as our locals.  We do our best to accommodate as many performers as we reasonably can while providing a diverse and enjoyable show. The Thursday Theater show requires a video submission to be evaluated.

Do I need to be a professional?

No! All levels of dancers are welcome to apply to perform! The Friday show is for the participants- whatever level you are. The Elevation Friday Show has become a show that our participants look forward to and many work all year to be able to present their best work. We encourage all who intend to perform to bring us their best! The Thursday Theater Show is a juried show that will require a higher level of professionalism to be selected.

What are the deadlines for Music?

Once you have been accepted as a performer, we will send you a list of things that we need from you. Some of these things will include music, lighting requests, introduction blurb, backdrop requests. We will let you know exactly what you need to submit in your acceptance email. 

Can I perform to live music?

Yes, there are some options available for live music. Please request information in the application.

Will I get a photo or video?

We will have a professional photographer and a videographer recording the shows. You will be able to purchase your performance photos and videos from them. The photographer is also available for pre-performance mini shoots.

Performer Time Limits?

Solo: 4 minutes
Group of 2-5 dancers: 5 minutes
Group of 6 or more: 8 minutes

Remember- Always leave them wanting MORE! A group does NOT NEED to use their entire available time slot 🙂

When will I know if I am accepted?

This year, our plan is to confirm all performers on or before January 30th. If there are still spaces available we will confirm them as we can.

Do I need a show ticket?

Confirmed performers will receive free entrance to the show they are performing in. Do NOT purchase your show tickets prior to receiving your performance acceptance or denial. Performer show tickets will not be refunded.  The details of this will be explained in your performer confirmation email. Please do NOT purchase your meal tickets prior to receiving performance confirmation, meal ticket purchases will not be refunded.

BEFORE you Apply to Perform, please be sure you have the following information gathered for ALL performers:

1. First and Last Names of each performer (PLEASE- use the name they used when they registered for classes!!)

2. Every person who has registered for classes received an ORDER number on their emailed receipt. Please have those order numbers available. (find “Elevation Order Number” followed by the digits) ALL members must have registered prior to being accepted. (Submitting your application without this information will cause your application acceptance to be delayed)

3. You may apply to perform in the Thursday Theater show or the Friday Dinner Show. You may also choose to be considered for the Friday show if you are not chosen for the Thursday show.

4. Do you want to perform with your group OR as a soloist. We prefer to have each person appear in the show only one time. Y

NOW- Fill out that application because we want to see YOU onstage!!!
