Yes. Recordings will be posted to the sheets below
Section 2b - Solos & Self-arranged Small-Groups
Each dancer has 5 1/2 minutes on stage. You don't need to use all of it, but you may divide this time into 1, 2 or 3 pieces. Each single piece must be less than 3 minutes and 15 seconds. You may do a solo, or organize a pas de deux or small group piece with other dancers coming to the festival.
Step 2: Check that your piece is not already in the show
For show continuity, we accept ONE of each classical variation and musical selection. We do not allow duplicate entries of the same piece.
Search the 2024 IABF showcase lineup below to make sure your variation is not already taken.
Register your Solo or Small-group Pieces
Step 1: Choose your Variation or Music
When performing, we need to make sure to have copyright permissions for the piece to perform. If you would like to perform a classical ballet variation, this does not apply to you.
If you would like to perform with a piece of pop or contemporary music that is NOT a classical ballet variation, check out the licensing rules below.
Click here to search the database for your song and watch the video below to learn more about how it works.
Step 3: Submit your Piece!
Please fill out the form below for EACH piece you’d like to register
