A FEW NOTES FOR ALL CITIES

  • Competition often reaches capacity before the official registration deadline. Many of our events will likely sell out, so we strongly encourage completing registration as early as possible. Press Play reserves the right to close registration at any time, even prior to the posted cutoff date.
  • A dancer may only compete ONE solo per city.
  • Soloists do not need to be registered in a group routine.
  • All solos must be included in the studio’s group registration and follow all entry limits. Dancers attending the event with their studio may not register for a solo individually.
  • Once a soloist earns a 1st Place Award at a regional Press Play event, they may no longer compete that same solo at any other regional Press Play city for the remainder of the season. They are welcome to compete a different solo at another Press Play city. The original 1st Place solo may still be performed at additional Press Play regionals for Critique Only (to receive judges’ feedback) or Performance Only (no feedback). In both cases, the routine will not be scored or eligible for any Awards.
  • Press Play makes every effort to allow as many competition entries as possible. Please email studios@pressplay.com with any specific entry requests.
  • All entry limits are subject to change.
