The deal is the best around and extremely smart since the event is in the hotel. You’ll be surprised how much you’ll need naps to maximize your fun over the weekend!

How to get your tickets
Pre-purchase your tickets through coach to ensure a correct ticket and same table. Those on competiton package have tickets included.
We will have a designated ticket distributer from our team. Please DO NOT ask for tickets from the competition reception desk or the organizers, they are very busy and expect that we will do our job taking care of our clients so as not to interrupt their work or confuse things due to inexperience.
There might be volunteer opportunities with the event organizers.

Competitors/Performers
Click here to find your dance schedule (link will be active when the event has made the schedule).
Be ready to dance 1 hour before scheduled time. Competitons can run up to a half hour early so be sure to be warming up in the ballroom before then.
Let us know if you need hair or makeup assistance. Remember to check out the “files/documents” in the student facebook page. Tan ahead of time. If you’d like a quick spray down, check out HM Spa & Salon on 6th Ave. Nails: Visey’s Nail Bar.
Smart to bring snacks!
Videos & Photos
Videos must be ordered ahead of time through the professional video company. No other video taping allowed. Photos allowed but be sure to support the professional photographer there and let them know ahead that you are interested in photos (no obligation to purchase but then you’ll get some to choose from).
Hair & Makeup
Make sure you tan as the lights can wash you out. HM Spa & Salon Tacoma does spray at a good price. Best idea is to ask for the darkest level and sleep with it on as some will wash off in the shower (don’t shower until the next day).
Hair & makeup artists, including myself (Natasha), are available to hire at some competitions. You can generally find out on the competition’s website (direct link will be added here when available) ahead of time and/or in the program you can purchase at the door (generally $5-$20 for a program). Depending on the schedule, I have also offered hair & makeup services at a discounted rate to our students. Check out online makeup tips and hair and face decorative jewelry and add-on’s – especially the “files/documents” section of the Students Facebook group page. Be sure to create your own kit of make-up and brushes. Local salons don’t always know competition makeup or hair styles.
