GROUP Routines are nominated live by the judging panel based on entertainment value and must be a group routine to be considered. PAC ATTACK nominees have fun energy on stage and get the audience moving. We encourage you to cheer on the performers, after all your applause is their inspiration.
LIVE STREAM
Live Stream (provided by Dance Bug) is a wonderful tool during these difficult times to include those who are unable to view the show in person, however, each venue is different and this service depends entirely on the wireless internet at the venue to work properly.
If during this event your Live Stream is interrupted please remember Precision Arts, Inc is providing complementary media to all registered dancers. Although we do not want to disappoint our at-home audience our priority will always be to ensure the dancers at our "LIVE" event have a great experience returning to the stage.
