ARISE does modified Studio Blocks - Solos/Duets/Trios Thurs/Friday and teams on Saturday. We will have 2 sessions on Saturday. The great thing about this format is your dancers, teachers and directors will only be there half day! This will prevent the 10+ hour days. We will have overall winners for each session. Advanced and High Intermediate Teams will be combined in the middle of the morning and afternoon sessions to give them more opportunity to compete against other teams

We know that it's early in the year and you won't have all your routine info now. With our system you simply need the total number of routines (solo, duet/trio, and team). You will select the city/date you wish to reserve, then will be prompted for the number of routines. The computer will give you a total to pay, it's only $25 per routine. This will reserve your space at the competition. Studio's will have a small window of 10% +/- of their reserved routines. For example if a studio reserves 50 routines, they can have up to 55 or 45 routines without penalty. Reserving more will cause you to lose the deposit , reserving too few, we may not be able to add more. You can up to 10% of what you originally registered. But if you reserve more than you need, you can take away up to 10% of what you originally registered , after that you will lose your deposit of those extra routines. Final registration that includes full payment and routine information (dancers, genre, level, etc) is due on Feb 1 for regular pricing or Dec 1 for early bird pricing. ​

In the event a solo, duet or trio becomes injured prior to the competition, a complimentary credit may be issued for the next dance season (the following year, or another event if space permits) in the amount of 25% of the original entry. Requires signed doctor note. No credit or refund is available for schedule conflicts. Additional restrictions apply, requires at least 14 days notice. Entry Fees are non-transferable. Sorry no credit or refund is available for team dancers after the registration has been closed for the 1st time. ​ *No Show Policy, solo, duet, and trio dancers are required to check in with backstage staff or 15 minutes if first dancers of the sections, OR 3 numbers prior to their scheduled performance. If they fail to check in 3 numbers prior, we will assume that the dancer is a scratch and/or no-show. They will forfeit all awards prizes or gifts. They will also not be eligible for a refund. To keep our competition on schedule, a performer will be given 15 seconds to take the floor after the announcer has given them 2 announcements to take the floor. If a performer requires extra time due to props, or other foreseeable reasons, please notify Arise Stage Manager at least 30 minutes prior to the performance. Please understand that ARISE plans months in advance for awards and events. Our events sell out, as routines cancel, another routine could have taken their place

We all hope to never repeat 2020, although Arise was one of the few competitions to hold a competition in June of 2020, we will do everything in our power to have an event, even if it means a venue change within 50 miles of the original venue. ​ If an event is cancelled beyond control of Arise competitions and another venue cannot be secured, we will offer the following options: 100% credit toward 2025 event. 60% Refund of entry fees to be paid via check or Venmo within 90 days of the cancellation. Virtual Competition ​ Studio's may choose between what option is best for them.
