THIS PAGE IS INTENDED FOR QUICK REFRENCE. PLEASE SEE FULL RULES & GUIDELINES FOR DETAILED INFORMATION

Registration for all BravO! events is processed through a Dance Comp Genie online portal. If you already have a Dance Comp Genie account, simply login and select BravO! from the available list of competitions. If you do not have a Dance Comp Genie account, please visit https://bravocompetition.com/ and select the ‘Registration’ tab. Please note: BravO! Provides pre-registration for studios that attended the previous season as loyalty program. General registration for each season opens in August. The opening date for registration will be announced via social media. For an exact date of registration opening, please contact BravO! offices prior to the new season.

BravO! no longer accepts independent entries. All registrants must be associated with a studio account holder.

BravO! may require a minimum routine count of 5 and a performer count of 2 unique participants to create a registration for select locations. Studios may contact the offices to request an exception.

Pricing information is available in your Dance Comp Genie studio portal. You will find a link titled ‘Fees’ on the top of your main dashboard. BravO! Staff can only share pricing information over the phone or via email with authenticated studio owners or authorized representatives from studios. If you are a parent inquiring about pricing information, please speak with your Studio Owner.

Time limits are as follows:

Solos: 2 minutes 45 seconds (No extended time allowed)

Duo/Trios: 2 minutes 45 seconds (No extended time allowed)   

Small Groups: 3 minutes Large Groups: 4 minutes Lines: 4 minutes

Productions: (Large Group and Lines Only) 6 minutes

Solos and Duo/Trios are not allowed to exceed the above time limits. There is, however, an approximate 15 second grace period. For Small Groups, Large Groups, and Lines you may purchase extended time. Extended time adds 1 minute to Small Groups, Large Groups, and Lines and 2 minutes to any production category groups.

A 10% discount will be given to all routines that are entered into the BravO! System in their entirety 65 days before the start of the event. Any routines added after the 65-day point will not receive discounted pricing and will be charged at normal rates. Accounts not paid by the 30-day deadline will have any discounts removed and may be subject to further applicable late fees.

Registration must be completed, in full, 45 days prior to the start date of the competition. All blank reserved spots will be removed, and studios will be invoiced at this time. Studios do not have to have all the information into the system at the time of reserving routines, but a registration is not considered complete and accepted until routine information and rosters are completed. A city may become full sooner than 45 days prior, so it is highly recommended to start registrations as early as possible! BravO! may require a deposit for locations that reach capacity prior to registration closing. Studios may be contacted to verify reservations and removed if there is no communication/confirmation from the account holder. It is the responsibility of the studio to ensure all contact information is correct and current in Dance Comp Genie Software.

A city not being available in the drop-down menu could mean two things. Either it is past the 45-day registration deadline, or the city has reached full routine capacity. Competitions will only be marked as Sold Out once we have confirmed all projected routines and studio participation. However, the city may be put on hold prior to being marked as Sold Out if we are in the process of finalizing projected entries. This is to ensure we do not find ourselves in an oversold scenario in which we are either unable to see all registered routines in the allotted time, or the addition of any routines would create a strenuous and overly long schedule for performers and studios.

To indicate the number of routines you plan to bring ahead of time, you may log in to your account once registration opens and set a projected number of routines.

Please note this will prompt the BravO! Staff to follow up via phone call and/or email to verify this number and your attendance. If we are unable to communicate with you regarding your projected number of routines within a week of your registration, your projected routine slots may be subject to forfeiture.

BravO! develops schedules based on the needs of each individual competition. There is not a set format. Each schedule is set based on the breakdown of entries (Solos, Duo/Trios, Groups, and Lines) for that city. We do not know this breakdown until all entries have been processed and registrations are final. At that time, we set a schedule that will be most accommodating to the largest amount of people. This allows us to utilize competition time in the most efficient way possible. This would not be possible if we were to follow a predetermined format. We do try and take prior communicated scheduling requests into scheduling consideration but cannot guarantee them. Please reach out to programs@bravocompetition.com with questions regarding your event’s scheduling.

Paid Studios will receive their routine numbers and final scheduled performance times one week prior to the competition. A timetable for the event will also be posted to BravO! website one week prior.

Doors will usually open approximately 1 hour prior to the competition start time but are subject to venue and school restrictions.

Critiques and score sheets will all be available after the competition weekend in your Dance Comp Genie portal. In most cases, critiques and score sheets are uploaded and available for viewing/downloading the following Tuesday after the competition weekend. In the event of a delay due to unforeseen circumstances, you will be notified of the delay by the BravO! Office. To view critiques, log in to your Dance Comp Genie account from the BravO! website. Then,

navigate to your event registration. There will be separate buttons for critiques and scores once these have gone live. You can share videos critiques by copying the access code at the top of your video.dancecompgenie page.

It is mandatory that all competition music is uploaded 2 weeks prior to the start date of the competition. BravO! does not accept any other form of music. To upload music, log in to your account and click the ‘Upload Music’ tab. Once there, you will see a list of your routine titles. Click the ‘Browse’ button next to the corresponding routine name and select the music file for that routine. We recommend checking to be sure the correct music file is uploaded. Currently files must be in MP3 format in the DCG System.
