Four weeks before the competition, a provisional schedule will be available on the website. This provisional schedule is subject to change as registrations are still open. The definitive schedule will be available one week before the competition on the website. It specifies the times at which the dancers must be ready to go on stage. You will find on your registration confirmation the age category and dance style in which you are taking part.
For solos, duos and trios, a dressing room is available half an hour in advance, and for groups one hour in advance. If you arrive earlier, please wait until the box is free and leave it in time for the next dancers.
There are several prize-giving ceremonies throughout the day so that dancers can go home if they cannot stay all day.
