Celebrity & Company 2019

FAMILY FRIENDLYCelebrity is proud to present an event where teachers and students can express themselves through the many styles of dance. While we promote all styles of dance we strive to keep our events family friendly. At Celebrity we believe that routines that contain inappropriate material should be penalized. We realize that there are many different ways to define what is inappropriate, therefore we have selected to have our Celebrity Judges decide what they believe to be family friendly. If a judge marks on their score sheet that they believe a routine is not appropriate, points will be deducted. The more judges that agree that a routine is not appropriate, the higher the point deduction. We hope that we can all work together to keep all Celebrity Events appropriate for our family viewers. Everyone at Celebrity Worldwide would like to thank you in advance for your hard work, dedication to dance and the Celebrity Experience.

They will also be available at Celebrity & Company onsite. This pass will allow parents and guests to observe all the workshop classes and the Ce-lebrity DanceDown. Observers may not enter into the teacher room at any time. For security purposes, parents and guests are required to register to be an observer and wear their pass at all times during events. If you are not wearing a Celebrity Observer Pass, you will be asked to leave the event. Lunch is not included for observers.

DANCEDOWNTo help our Celebrity Dancers grow in the industry we invite all our participants to join us on stage for the Celebrity DanceDown. This master class doubles as an audition so dancers can show our Celebrity Judges & Faculty who they really are while gaining valuable auditioning experience. Celebrity Judges & Faculty will be watching for the brightest stars! The Celebrity DanceDown is open to all dancers in our Junior, Teen & Senior Levels and is included in your convention rate. A Mini Performance, with our registered mini dancers, will take place at the Celebrity DanceDown. Get your number at Celebrity & Company in the lobby when you arrive at convention.
