Because of the tremendous participation in previous festivals, each school is limited to bring no more than 20 students. This will keep classes at a manageable size, providing a better experience for your students.
Fill out your purchase orders NOW!! Registration and class availability is on a first come, first served basis, so please register on-line and mail your registration fee ASAP. Once fees (check or P.O.) have been received, you will be officially registered for classes.
To assist with the registration process, each school will receive a certain number of wrist bands for each class. It will be up to teachers to decide which students will attend each class. Schools who register late may not get the variety that other schools will have. There may be some availability for trading tickets the day of the festival.

VIDEOS:
The performance will be video taped. Members may purchase a video for only $20 and non-members may purchase a video for $30 (this is the cost to AzDEO from the videographer). This video is an excellent resource for showing in class for the purpose of critiquing or other choreographic discussions. Video purchase can be included in your festival registration OR you can bring cash and order on the day of the festival. Only one video per school please.
T-SHIRTS:
Festival T-shirts will be available for pre-sale ($10) and the day of the festival ($15). If you would like to pre-order, please fill out the t-shirt section of the registration form and include payment with your other registration fees or bring money to the festival. Due 2.1.13
CLASSES:
Each student will take three dance classes. During the first session, your students will choose from either Jazz or Hip-Hop. For the other two sessions, each school will receive a certain number of tickets for each class. It will be up to the teacher to decide how to disperse the tickets. You will receive class tickets after payment has been received (P.O. or check) Tickets will be issued by Stacy Budoff at Tempe High School.
PERFORMANCE:
Each school may bring one dance to perform. However, it is not mandatory. Please click on the link below to fill out the Performance Tech Sheet.
Information will be automatically sent to Kristen Mast at South Mountain High School. She can be reached by email at gro.noinuxineohpnull@tsam, or by phone at 602-764-5191. All performance information is due by February 1st so Kristen can create a concert order, program, cue sheets etc… Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
ALL TECH SHEETS ARE DUE BY FEB 10th.
Music must be turned in at the registration table the morning of the festival. We are requesting that your music be the only song on a clearly marked CD. We also request to keep the CD for the videographer’s use. The performance is informal
ADJUDICATION:
$20 for AzDEO/NDEO members
$25 for non-members
This year we will continue the tradition of adjudication for those schools who wish to participate. The process is similar to that of the ABODA Band Competitions by which each school will receive a rating (superior, excellent, good…) and will also receive judges’ comments for a variety of areas (choreography, performance …). In the spirit of promoting community and avoiding a competitive atmosphere, results will be sent to each school and not announced at the festival. There will be an additional fee of $20 per school ($25 for non-members) for adjudication in order to offset the costs for judges, paperwork, mailing etc.
