  • Age is calculated as of the first of the current calendar year. The above age levels are guidelines to the Revel experience. Each dancer will be issued a wristband that reflects their assigned ballroom for class and gives them access to that room only. Studio directors are more than welcome to move dancers to a different level for convention if space is available.  Please note: Dancers that dance down must still audition in their originally assigned age level. These changes can be made in the system upon registration.
  • NOTE - dancers who are registered for the National Finals Competition must be registered for the National Finals Convention.
  • NOTE - refunds are not available under any circumstances. Credit equal to convention fees paid will be issued towards a future event for up to one year if a dancer is unable to participate. All credits will be issued back to the studio account.

Observers

For Studio Observers:

Each attending studio will receive up to 5 complimentary Teacher Pass Lanyards. These Teacher Pass Lanyards will permit studio staff into each convention room to observe. To be eligible to receive the complimentary Teacher Pass Lanyards, studios must list all teachers and staff in their registration for the event. Teacher Pass Lanyards will be provided in the studio bag at the Revel National Finals Registration & Check-In kiosk upon arrival. If a studio requires more than 5 Teacher Pass Lanyards, they must purchase additional lanyards in the registration prior to the event.

For Parent Observers:

Parents of registered dancers are allowed into the National Finals convention classes if they purchase a Parent Observer Band. All observers must be attending with paid dancers only. Studios must purchase Parent Observer Bands in their National Finals Registration prior to the event. Please note, Parent Observer Bands are specific to the Revel Level (Senior, Teen, Junior, Mini) and may not be used to gain access to multiple rooms. Parent observers must make sure Observer Bands are visible for Revel staff at all times during the classes. Parent observers must sit and keep all belongings against the walls to provide the maximum amount of space for the dancers. Revel reserves the right to ask any observer to leave the ballroom if they become a distraction to the dancers or faculty.

Parent Observer Bands will not be available for purchase onsite.

Single Day Parent Observer Bands are not available.

Parent Observer Bands will not allow access to Bonus Classes and thePANEL Audition Workshops.
