SCHEDULING
Dance Ovations created their own format from the onset, and which has been proven to be very successful for all. We do not have a set schedule, nor do we schedule Categories/Subjects together.  At Dance Ovations, each event is created to suit that particular event. With scheduling this way, it enables us to better accommodate teacher's special requests, always allowing adequate time for costume changes, etc.
No event will begin before 8:00am, with ending at 10:00pm. Friday events will start at 4:00pm.
Regional Event: 1 - 3 days maximum    National Event: 6 days maximum
Dance Ovations reserves the right to extend and or to modify scheduling due to the capacity of an event.
