With competition season in full swing, we know how busy things get for teachers, dancers, and families. Between rehearsals, costumes, and travel plans, it’s a lot to juggle! But here’s the truth: staying organised and meeting deadlines doesn’t just help you—it helps us run the best event possible for everyone involved.

Here’s how your organisation helps make the magic happen:

🕒 1. Deadlines Keep Everything Running Smoothly

When entry forms, music files, and info are submitted on time, our team can plan properly. That means:

• Clear, accurate timetables
• Smooth registration on the day
• Tech teams ready and briefed
• Judges who know what’s ahead

When information is late, it can cause last-minute changes and unnecessary stress for both our team and yours.

🎧 2. Music Files Matter More Than You Think

Submitting music early and clearly labelled helps our sound team do their job without delays. With so many routines in one day, this simple step makes a huge difference behind the scenes.

Top tip: Label your tracks like this:

It’s quick, clear, and helps avoid errors on the day.

📝 3. It Supports Our Team

We’re a small (but mighty!) team behind the scenes. Every late form, missing detail, or last-minute message adds up fast. When schools stay on top of admin, it means we can spend more time focusing on what we love—creating an amazing competition experience for your dancers.

💃 4. A Better Event for Everyone

Being organised helps us give you what you’ve come to expect from  Dance Design Events:

• No delays
• No missed routines
• No added stress backstage

We know how much effort goes into getting your dancers ready, and we want every moment to feel worth it.

✅ Let’s Work Together

We appreciate every school, teacher, and parent who helps us by sticking to deadlines, sending clear info, and asking questions early. It may seem like small stuff—but it makes a big difference when we’re running large-scale events.

Thanks for being part of the Showbiz Community. We can’t wait to see you at the next comp!
