    Guidelines
    A time schedule and general information will be emailed to all registered studios seven days prior to the competition date. A general schedule will be posted on the website as well.

    Stage Size: approximately 40' by 40' smoothed concrete outdoor stage.

    Routines are expected to perform in the order they are scheduled. In all cases, routines must be performed during the awards session in which they are scheduled. If the routine cannot perform during the awards session in which they are scheduled for any reason can be performed for judges’ adjudication only. The routine would not be eligible for any overall awards. It will be announced on stage at the end of the regular awards and the earned trophy or medal given.

    No air horns or similar devices are allowed.

    Fire, swords and knives on stage are prohibited. Simulated weapons with dull, safe edges are acceptable with approval of The LBCDF Competition Directors and Stage Managers. No liquid, gel, aerosol, glitter, or similar substance that would affect the dancing surface is allowed unless specifically approved by The LBCDF Directors. Props are allowed, however they must be freestanding. Scenery or backdrops requiring the use of theater fly bars may not be used. Helium balloons are not permitted. Special fog or smoke is not permitted. Safety is always our major concern. If the stage is "littered" during a routine, please be prepared to clean it up immediately after the routine is finished with the broom provided.
    The competition is meant for a family audience. Please refrain from overtly explicit costuming, vulgar language, or suggestively movement. Routines that violate these guidelines may be scored lower by judges, at their discretion. Judges' rulings are final.

    Sportsmanlike behavior is expected at all times onstage, backstage, and in the dressing rooms. Failure to display proper decorum for all participants and staff members could result in immediate disqualification.

    Contestants will be judged by a panel of competent judges, and all entrants agree that the time, manner, and method of judging the contest shall be solely within the discretion of the directors and producers of LBCDF and that all decisions of the judges are final.

    ​Contestants and studio/team staff by virtue of entering The LBCDF Competition event give their permission and consent to the directors of LBCDF to use their images or photographs or appear in videos, television, or any other electronic media for advertising, news coverage or any other commercial use of our events.

    A general liability waiver is required from each competitor, signed by themselves or a parent/guardian by the date of the LBCDF Competition. You will receive email with a downloadable attachment to have your dancers sign upon registration confirmation.
