We have registered our routines, does this mean our entries are guaranteed?

 

Registering your routines is the first step. However, entries are not reserved until your deposit is paid which must be done within 14 days of registration. Following receipt of your deposit we will then hold your places for another 28 days, during which the remaining balance must be cleared. We can only schedule routines that have been fully paid for.

 

When is the payment deadline for a competition?

 

Our competitions are extremely popular and places are allocated on a first come, first served basis. 

 

All registered entries must be confirmed, with music uploaded and payment made in full within 6 weeks of the initial registration. Following this period, late fees become applicable and entries cannot be guaranteed.

 

On your website it says you can get spectator ticket and book workshops at discounted prices. How can I take advantage of these offers?

 

Online ticket sales begin 2 weeks before an event. To take advantage of the spectator and workshop discounts simply purchase your tickets before the online sales deadline - which is normally on the Monday before the event begins. Once sales are closed ticket are only available on the day at full price. All tickets are available on a first come, first served basis.

 

When will a schedule be released for my competition?

 

Competition schedules are released 2 weeks prior to an event. Up until then, as details are subject to change, we are unable to give any confirmation of the day (for events lasting more than one day) or time of your dance. 

 

Will a workshop clash with my performance time? So If I'm already competing at an event, should I wait to see the schedule before I book my 'Knockout Workshops?

 

All of our 'Knockout Workshops' take place on the main stage during breaks in the main competition. This means you can book any workshops you'd like to do in advance, safe in the knowledge there will be no clash with your performance.

 

Is it possible to find out in advance the timetable for an event, so we know which day and at what time a routine wil be on?

 

Performers may be asked to perform at any chosen time over the weekend. It's important for participants to be aware of this and to plan accordingly. We can't give any guidance in advance of the release of the official schedule before the event.

 

How much are spectator and 'Knockout Workshop' tickets when purchased online?

 

To take advantage of our online offers and for up to date prices please see the page dedicated to your particular event on our website. You will be able to purchase spectator tickets and workshops at a discounted rate and we even offer further reductions for multiple workshops when you purchase one of our 'Knockout Workshop' bundles.

​

Is there a minimum/ maximum time limit for routines and will a too short or too long routine put us at a disadvantage?

 

We have a comprehensive section regarding time limits, which can be found here.

 

We haven’t worked our way into the competition world just yet and would like to come and watch to see how things run. Is this OK?

 

We always say to those who don’t compete at the moment that they are welcome to come along and watch how our competitions run and our scholarship workshops are also open to dancers who aren’t competing so to take advantage of those to sample the atmosphere!

How does The Aaron Dwyer Dance Competition differ from events like Supreme Dance Competition?

 

While both events support young dancers across the UK, Aaron Dwyer’s competition puts a unique focus on feedback, development, and atmosphere. We offer:

• Live audio feedback

• Non-stop positive energy backstage

• Industry pro judges who also teach

• Our famous 'Golden Buzzer'

​

If you've loved events like Supreme, we think you'll find Aaron’s format both refreshing and rewarding.
