General Information

Registration & Draft Schedule

We encourage you to register early to reserve your spot. Upon payment of your entries, you will receive confirmation of your entries for review and confirmation. A draft schedule will be made available to you 10 days prior to the event. Exact performance times are subject to change.

If you cannot perform at your scheduled time due to costume change, prior arrangements must be made so that you may perform without penalty. We usually run on or ahead of schedule. Please be prepared at least 1 hour before your scheduled time. Events will not be scheduled to perform earlier than 8:00AM on any day. Every effort will be made to schedule the last entry to perform no later than 8:00PM.

Competition Format

Thunderstruck Canada does not have a general format which we follow at our Regional Competitions. Every regional schedule is set up based on the breakdown of entries. The schedule is set up to best accommodate the competition and to utilize time in the most efficient way possible. This would not necessarily be possible if we followed a pre-determined format. In General, we tend to perform the Future Stars, then the Shining Stars and then the Rock Stars whenever possible and will also perform all the routines for a particular category in the same block.

Refund Policy

Entry fees are non-refundable but are transferable if the dancer or Studio wish to apply it to another competition. Thunderstruck Canada will provide a credit to the Studio (Solo's Only) for medical reasons with an accompanying letter listing the competitor's entires. A medical certificate or doctor's note must also be provided. Credit notes are valid for one competition year and can be used by the studio for future entry fees or merchandise. With no exceptions, there are no refunds for entries that fail to perform at the competition.

Liability and Release

Any dancer participating in a Thunderstruck Canada dance event is understood to recognize the risks inherent in dance and dance performances. Participation in Thunderstruck Canada's dance competition, special performances or workshops indicates the acceptance of such risks by contestants and their parents/guardians.
