FAQ

Can parents observe the dance convention classes?
Absolutely! Observer bands can be bought ahead of time through the registration portal or on site on the day of the event.
How do I register my teachers for the convention?
At Project Dance, we offer exclusive teacher seminars at our convention events where instructors can learn from industry professionals and gain insights from their experiences, lessons, and advice. Teachers who wish to attend these seminars must purchase a teacher band. The teacher band also grants access to regular classes, allowing registered teachers to participate in all dance class levels. If a teacher prefers to observe rather than participate, they will need an observer band. As a special offer, for every 25 dancers a studio registers, the studio will receive one free teacher band.
What class level should I register my dancer for?

At Project Dance, we provide four class levels tailored to different age groups: Mini (recommended for dancers ages 6 and under), Petite (recommended for dancers ages 7-10), Pre-Teen/Teen (recommended for dancers ages 11-14), and Senior (recommended for dancers ages 15 and up). Dancers have the flexibility to move up or down an age group based on their skill level—whether they are advanced, beginner, or intermediate. Studio directors are encouraged to use their discretion when registering dancers to ensure the best fit.

Is there a half day option for younger dancers?
Yes! We provide a half-day option tailored for dancers aged 6 and under. Dancers in this age group will take three dance classes, join the meet and greet with our master teachers, and enjoy the spectacular end-of-day showcase!
How are ages determined for convention rooms?

All Project Dance Convention ages are based on the dancer’s age as of the convention event date.

Are there any early bird registration deals?

Yes! Secure your spot with Super Early Tuition, available until July 1st, 2025. Early Tuition is available until September 1st, 2025. Super Early Tuition and Early Tuition fees only apply to registrations submitted and paid in full by the respective “Registration Deadline”.
