In addition, select "Epic Dancers" will be considered for assisting our esteemed choreographers during classes at Epic Conventions.

Check-in times will be sent via email to all participants, prior to the event. Student/Teacher wrist bands and observer bands will be available for purchase/pick-up before class begins each day. Wrist bands should be picked up by the person who registered the group. If that person will be unavailable, please let us know in advance.
