Interested dance schools can prepare for the submission a brief description of their proposed program along with a video audition. The actual Submission Process will be announced shortly.
Submission Deadline: Sunday, 30 Apr 2017
Performance Guidelines
- 20-30 minutes Program (inclusive of set up)
- High quality Carnatic/Classical Recording

Audition Guidelines
The video audition need not be for the actual program but rather representative of your school’s talent. For example, an excerpt of an Annual Day Program with senior students will suffice. For ease of review, please provide a link to the video audition in an easily viewable format (i.e on YouTube or the equivalent) of decent quality.
