TABLE OF CONTENTS
1) DANCE CONVENTIONS
-HOW TO SIGN UP:
You can sign up for the conventions listed on this page by clicking the REGISTER button at the end of each section and your info will be routed to our convention coordinator. Please check the Eligibility & Guidelines section below to determine how many you can attend.
-YOUR COST:
For instructors who teach a minimum of 2 classes a week, the studio underwrites half of the convention cost. We pay for it upfront and your share is deducted from your paycheck over the two pay periods following convention registration. Please note that you must sign up before the early bird deadline listed.
-ELIGIBILITY GUIDELINES:
There are some eligibility requirements for how many conventions you can attend under the 50/50 cost share system. The rationale is that the more classes you teach at B2D, the more areas your convention training would benefit the organization as a whole.
- If you teach 1 to 4 class/team/SDT hours: Attend up to one convention
- If you teach 5 to 7 class/team/SDT hours: Attend up to two conventions
- If you teach 8 to 10 class/team/SDT hours: Attend up to three conventions
- If you teach 11 to 14 class/team/SDT hours: Attend up to four conventions
- If you teach 15+ class/team/SDT hours: Attend up to six conventions
-ABSENCE/SUBBING GUIDELINES:
For Monsters of Hip Hop convention, both Saturday and Sunday (but not Friday) non-beginner recital classes and all team rehearsals will be off. For all other conventions you plan to attend, as well as for beginner classes during Monsters weekend, you’ll have to request a sub.
Please note that none of these convention dates conflict with the four competition events we’re attending. However, they may conflict with music video shoots or other special events. By the time the registration deadline comes, you should have all these other dates and can plan accordingly.
