HOW IT WORKS TO ENTER


1. Dancers will RECORD TWO Videos. One for Freestyle, and One for All-Around Solos.
    Using the music provided above or on the America On Stage app, dancers record themselves doing freestyle and a separate video doing all the All-Around Solos they know. You can wear costumes or not, do your hair and make up, GO BIG! Record at home, in a studio, wherever you want! Have fun!

2. Dancers MUST RENAME their videos BEFORE Submitting them so we can identify them.
        To rename your video, transfer them to your computer, right click on the video file and click on "rename"

WHAT IT IS

It's an online clogging and power tap competition for clogging individual events FREESTYLE and ALL-AROUND SOLOS. It costs $25 to enter both categories. $13 for freestyle alone.
 

Here's the basic gist:
Dancers can compete in TWO individual events: Freestyle and All-Around Solos.
1) Freestyle: Dancers will film themselves doing their freestyle. They can film it at their house, studios, anywhere. Be in costume or not, anything they want. Go BIG!
Dancers will film themselves (like with a cell phone) and send in their video to their directors or America On Stage themselves.
We will provide the music on the app so you can dance all at the same speed.
 
2) All-Around Solos: Dancer will film themselves doing all the solos they know in a video (don't record 5 videos, record one video with as many All-Around Solos as they know).
Dancers will send in their All-Around Solo Video to directors or America On Stage themselves
We will provide the music on the app so you can dance all at the same speed.

All video submissions will need to be uploaded between May 11th and May 16th.

Judges will be from the entire America On Stage community. Directors, Judges, and even some of our top Pro Dancers will judge the categories. All freestyle entries will have three judges score their video and all Solos will be scored by Solo judges. All dancers will receive awards being 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th place. Advanced, Champ and Pro Dancers can also receive High Gold 1st Place.

Dancers from all levels may compete. Any Pro Dancers who wish to enter will be scored against a score and awarded as such (Multiple awards - High Gold, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th). We will not be scoring Pro as normal, rather against a scor
 

Teams and Duets and A Cappella are not being done in this event as most teams and duets are unable to be recorded and sent in and a cappella is not being judges at this event.

We hope those that want to participate and have a great May competition. If they are unable to attend Nationals, we hope this will be able to give them a great competition conclusion to this year.
All those that want to compete at Nationals can do both if they want as well.

 

RESULTS AND AWARDS

Results will be posted online Saturday May 23 online at americaonstage.org! 

 
We will mail all competitors America On Stage Medals, Awards Pins and SUPERStar pins! Awards will be sent to studios to distribute to their students.

 
SUPERStar points will be added to your totals, Director of the Year points will be added in as well. Studio Grants will also be awarded.
