Event Information

INDIANAPOLIS

SCHEDULE IS COMPLETE
The schedule for the 2022 Indianapolis regional competition is now complete. It is scheduled for Friday-Sunday, January 28-30 at the Zionsville Performing Arts Center located at 1000 Mulberry St. in Zionsville, Indiana. Performance times for all studios have been emailed to studio directors, and a general schedule appears below. If you’ve not received your schedule confirmation, please check your email “spam” folder before you contact us.

CHANGES AND CORRECTIONS
Your ability to make any changes or corrections to your acts is now limited. If, however, you discover an issue that requires attention you can email us at office@talentonparade.com to check your options.

FRIDAY PARKING RESTRICTION
Please be aware that entry to the venue parking lots will be strictly prohibited on Friday until 4 pm. If you attempt to enter the lot prior to that time you will be turned away by security personnel. Save yourself the frustration and plan for a 4 pm arrival (or later).

SCHEDULE FLEXIBILITY
Even though we have provided to-the-minute information in your schedule confirmation you should still use it as a general guideline only. All acts should also be ready, and willing, to perform up to one hour earlier or later than scheduled as it is not unusual for the show to run a little early or, on occasion, late.

MASKS WILL BE REQUIRED
We will be following the Covid guidelines that are in place in the city/venue at the time of the show. Be prepared to wear a mask at all times, except for dancers while performing on the stage. Please encourage your dance parents to be compliant and respectful of the mask guideline. You might remind them that this event is all about putting kids on the stage where they desperately long to be, not about challenging rules or making political statements.

PERFORMANCE MUSIC UPLOAD
If you’ve not already uploaded your music you must do so immediately. Uploading your performance music is required. Log in to your DanceComp Genie dashboard and look for the “Upload Music” button. Attach each music file where indicated and you’re good to go. Contact us with any questions or issues and we’ll be happy to assist.

TOP ENTERTAINER AND PHOTOGENIC
Entry for these special awards should have been processed during your act entry period and will not be accepted at the door. If you still need to enter for TOP Entertainer or Photogenic you must email us at office@talentonparade.com prior to 5:00 pm (CST) Monday, January 17 with entry details. We will then contact you to make payment arrangements.

PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEO RECORDING WILL BE PROHIBITED
Photography and video recording will only be allowed during awards presentations. This rule will be strictly enforced and has been established to protect the rights of studio owners, directors, teachers, choreographers, and costume designers. We also want to prevent unauthorized photos from being used elsewhere in a questionable manner. Professional performance photos and videos will be available from Alive Video and Photo for those who may be interested.

CRITIQUES AND SCORES
Video critiques and digital scores will be available for you to view in the week following the show by logging in to your DanceComp Genie account dashboard.
