How to Participate

Prepare your favorite KPop dance routine.
Choose a song you’d like to learn/cover and practice the choreography through the dance version of your song.
Your audition video must have the full length of the song from beginning to end. You can create a medley of multiple songs/routines, but the total length should not be shorter than 2 minutes or longer than 5 minutes. Feel free to wear a costume, use your own props, and incorporate your creativity!
Please keep in mind that this is a family friendly show, so keep your costume and choreography appropriate.
Fill out the form below with your information.
If you are dancing as part of a group, please have every member of your group fill out a form.
Check your email for confirmation and video submission instructions.
Instructions for your video audition will be provided in full detail in the email you used to register for the showcase. Please make sure that it is an email you regularly access as we will communicate directly through there!
Practice and Send in your Video Audition before the deadline.
Find an open area to record your performance! When recording, please make sure we can see your FULL body for the performance and you are in a well-lit location.
Late video entries or extension will not be accepted if you do not give us advanced notice. We recommend sending in your video before deadline day in case of any issues. You can send us multiple versions of your audition video; we will consider your most recent entry.
We will let you know in advance if there are issues viewing your video. We will automatically disqualify you if the video is in a dimly lit or dark area where it is difficult to see you and/or your choreography.

Additional information will be given to ALL performers that qualify for the showcase.
