POLICIES
Registration on-going until the festival ends on December 31st, 2021
Virtual Performances
Please link us to a performance of approximately 6-7 minutes. You are presenting a ‘taste’ of what your program is about. If viewers wish to seek out more performance pieces by you, you should make that clear on your website. We will only link to one dance on our festival page. This is not a live festival, all offerings must be online video. Please include credits as part of your video. Videos may be located on your website or a commercial site like YouTube or Vimeo.
Website
Please provide us with a link to your WEBSITE. Please also link back to CDF on your website's 'links' page/area/feed/Facebook page/Twitter/Instagram/etc. www.childrensdancefestival.org
Groups & Individuals
Dances may be from groups or individuals. However, they must be performance pieces, not unfinished work, Tiktoks or the like. We reserve the right not to accept material that we feel does not adhere to the policies of the Children's Dance Festival.
Costumes & Music
We are trying to reach a mixed-age audience of families and performers. Family friendly costuming and no explicit musical lyrics, please!! Copyright for music/choreography/class content is the responsibility of the participant. CDF is not responsible for copyrights of used materials.
Fees
We charge a nominal tuition fee of $20/$21 for each studio/group/company/individual to participate, to fund the festival expenses. Tuition may be paid by Paypal or Check. We will send you the info for sending a check when you register. With Paypal, the fee of $21 covers the Paypal usage fee. No group will be denied participation for lack of ability to pay.
Teachers & Workshops
If you are adding a childrens' or adults' dance performance to the festival, you may also register a separate short workshop for children; 20-30 minutes long. This is without charge. Workshops by any other entities must pay the $20 tuition fee.
Dropping Out
We realize that when working with children and in these precarious times, things happen and groups cannot 'attend 'the festival. Please let us know ASAP if you have registered and cannot participate.
