PAC ATTACK™ CALL BACK
It is Official, Precision Arts Challenge has introduced PAC Attack™ to soloists. How does it work?
1. Soloists registered in the Junior, Pre-Teen, Teen, Senior age group in all levels Advance, Competitive, and Pre-Professional are automatically entered.
2. This is a performance competition. Soloists that are truly captivating performers are what the judges are looking for on stage. Following their solo, the judges will cue the lights and sirens. This is how you will know that your soloists has been chosen for a PAC Attack™ Call Back. By having the sirens sound your dancer will be awarded a Precision Performer Award for the weekend.
3. The PAC Attack™ Call Back will take place before the awards of that session. PAC Attack™ Call Back contestants will then be asked to improv. The improv will be done to a jazz song. They will be allowed to wear whatever they want for the PAC Attack™ Call Back. They have already won. This is an opportunity to show off and have fun for a crowd full of your biggest fans.
4. The dancers will line up on the stage, with direction from our backstage coordinator. The DJ will announce their name and they will start their improve. Once the last dancer has performed they will all be asked to strut their stuff one last time. Go CrAzY for your DANCERS! They have earned it.
PAC ATTACK CHALLENGE™
See the Lights?! Hear the Siren?! This GROUP routine has been chosen for our PAC ATTACK Challenge™ and will perform again for the Best in Show award! The winning routine will be posted online for voting. The video with the most likes by next season will win $500.00 cash.
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.
HOTEL GROUP BLOCKS
Parents: If you think you might need a hotel room for your event, please consider reserving your room(s) early to ensure you have the opportunity to lock in the group rate. If you find you will not need your room, cancel your reservation within the timeframe the hotel provides for penalty-free cancellations. The group rate is only guaranteed on a limited number of rooms until the cut-off date (between 21 and 30 days prior to arrival). NOTE: It will be your responsibility to cancel your reservation or risk paying a one-night penalty to the hotel. Please note that Precision Arts, Inc is not associated with the hotels listed.
MR/MISS PRECISION
Pre-Professional soloists in the Petite, Junior, Pre-Teen, Teen, and Senior age group may compete for the TITLE of Miss/ Mr Precision. Soloists must PRE-REGISTER as they will be competing in a separate session. Soloists may enter multiple routines for the title competition. We will only crown 1 solo per dancer.
Each judge will have a separate score sheet for all TITLE candidates judging on the routine's style. This is available on the DIRECTORS resources page for Studio Owners/ Teachers to view. Title Score is separate from the adjudicated scores.
IMPORTANT: There must be a minimum of 4 soloists in an age division to compete for TITLE. Title age divisions are separated as ‘8 & Under’, ‘9 thru 12’ and '13 & Up'. If the minimum is not met, entries will be combined as follows ’12 & Under’ and ’13 & Up’ or all TITLE contestants will be moved into one division. Age divisions may be broken down further dependent on enrollment at the particular event.
Title winners will receive a banner, crown (males receive a beanie), and are automatically considered an Action Photography Finalist. A dancer may only win the title of “Miss/ Mr Precision” at one regional per year. Title entries will not be included in regular overalls and will instead be placed in their own overall category. The top 10 contestants in each age division will receive a crown. Ties will not be split.
