LET US ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS

Is Photography & Videotaping Allowed?
Photography is only permitted during the Faculty Q & A session or after the workshops. In respect of the faculty & participants, photography is not allowed during the workships unless permitted by a staff member of The Dance Project.

What Are The Scholarships For?
The Dance Project places a strong emphasis on the non-competitive nature of this event. We believe that each and every participant will walk away a winner at the end of the day. In addition to our exciting workshops and conventions, we will be presenting The Dance Project scholarships to selected participants who have shown great potential and effort throughout the event. Scholarship winners will be chosen by our faculty and presented at the end of the day. Winners may use their scholarships at any TDP event (within 1 year). In addition, there will be plenty of fun prizes!!!

Is Lunch Provided?
No. Lunch is not included in registration fees. Snacks & drinks may be available to purchase at the venue. Please check your registration confirmation for details.

Junior
These classes are for students with a minimum of 1 year dance experience.  Students must be 8 years of age or older to attend these classes.

Intermediate
Students in the intermediate level will be taught combinations at a faster pace than those in the Junior level. Experience in a convention setting is an asset. A suggested minimum age is 12, however, younger students with stronger skills and more experience are welcome in this level.

Advanced
It is suggested that students in the advanced level be at least 14 years of age & have sufficient dance training. Classes at the advanced level will be taught at a faster, more challenging pace than those of the intermediate level.

Teachers/Assistant Teachers**
Teachers and Assistant Teachers (minimum age 16) are welcome to participate & observe and take notes in any classes. Dance notes may not be provided for all classes. Classes scheduled for Teachers/Assistant Teachers are closed to students and observers. Studio Directors and teachers who bring several students to the convention will be given special discounts (see discounts page for more information).

Observers
A limited number of observer passes are available at each event, allowing admission to student workshops only. Teacher workshops (where applicable) will be reserved exclusively for registered teachers.

* Note: It is at the discretion of the teachers and students to decide what level a student should be entered into. If, at the workshop or convention, the student is entered into a level which is inappropriate, please see a TDP staff member to exchange wristband.

**Note: Junior and Teacher/Assistant Teacher levels may not be offered at all events. Please see specific schedule for availability and details.
