HOW IT WORKS
The 2021 Cherry Blossom Dance Festival is offering two different virtual categories this year. Pre-record your dancing or compete live on Zoom! All videos will be professionally edited, in perfect time with the music & the other couples, and live-streamed in high definition - for free! The entire competition will be judged in real time and curated by our Master of Ceremonies!
Pre-Recorded Events
Register - For pre-recorded entries, register online and submit payments or send your entry forms (via email) by Friday, March 19th.
Music - We have developed a portal for you to easily access your music and upload your videos straight from your phone. Once we receive your entries, you will receive an email with your studio invoice and instructions to access your unique competitor’s page on our portal. On this page, you will see a list of all the dances you’ve entered. Each dance contains the song you will dance to and an option to upload your video for that dance.
Videos - Upload your videos directly to the portal by Friday, March 26th. We must receive your videos by this deadline to give our professional editing team time to process and format them. Click here to view our full Video Submission guidelines.
Live Events
Live Events - If you are competing live on Zoom, submit your entry forms (via email) and payments by Monday, April 5th. During the competition, you will connect your phone to your studio sound system to hear our MC announce your events live as well as the music for your heats!
