 Las Vegas National Finals is only a few days away, I hope everyone is just as excited as we are!

This year we will be in a different building than previous years, we will be in the Marquee Ballroom. Please follow the posted signage for directions to the ballroom.

The MGM requests that dancers please not enter the Conference Center or use the available spaces of the conference center for rehearsing. All KAR dancers must stay within the Marquee Ballroom.

Prop storage – this year the prop storage area will be very limited. Therefore we will be enforcing the following prop rules:

• Props are to be loaded in no more than 2 hours prior to your scheduled performance and must be loaded out no more than 2 hours after your scheduled performance.
•  Props must be labeled with your studio name for identification purposes.
• Prop trailers are only allowed in the unloading area during unloading and loading, we ask that prop trailers not be left in the unloading area for more than 20 minutes.
• Prop trailers are allowed in the parking lot during competition hours only, the MGM does not allow for any overnight parking.

Please see the attached diagrams for Marquee Ballroom layout as well as an aerial view our new space for your reference.

We are so happy to announce the FINALISTS of the 2014 KAR Model Search! Thank you so much to all of the participants as each and every submission was special and unique. After conquering the difficult task of evaluating over 300 headshots from all over the country, we were able to narrow it down to six beautiful dancers. It was great to witness yet another example of how passionate and motivated all of the KAR dancers are, and we are so lucky to be a part of your journey in making your dreams into reality.

Will you be competing in this year’s National Title Competition at one of the KAR Finals?! We decided to switch it up this year! We are going “from formal to FABULOUS.” The event still remains classy and upscale as our dancers only deserve the very best.  What you can expect an upbeat, hip, and chic feel as you watch all of these talented performers take the Nationals stage.

So whether you’re under the bright lights or enjoying the show, this will be a part of National Finals that you do NOT want to miss!
