​​

• Approximately 5 days after the conclusion of a Regional City, invitation emails are sent to school directors or directly to independent dancers.
   

• From the date of the Invitation email, soloists/ensembles have 1-2 weeks, depending on regional location attended, to Register for Finals. Deadlines will be notated in Invitation email and can also be found on the Registration Page.

VIDEO APPLICATION FOR INTERNATIONAL DANCERS & APPROVED U.S.  DANCERS EXPLAINED

​

• International Dancers are classified as any dancer that currently resides and trains outside the U.S.
   

• Approved U.S Dancers include: Dancers belonging to a Partner School where there is no regional location offered in your state. Definition of a Partner School = the academies and companies that partner with ADC IBC to provide scholarship and professional opportunities to dancers through our platform. 
  
  For example: Oklahoma students that attend Tulsa Ballet or Oklahoma City Ballet may attend a nearby regional or submit a video to apply for Finals, as we do not host a Semi-Final in this state
