Highline Performing Arts Center has cancelled our event this weekend (February 9-10) due to the State of Emergency in the Seattle area caused by the winter storm. They do not feel that the roads will be safe and they can not properly staff the event for the safety of all. Although we hoped for better news, we also want to make sure everyone is safe and off the roads.

Our Customer Care team has been in communication with the participating studios regarding refunds, rescheduling and other options.

Parents please reach out to your studio for more information.

As always, safety is our number one priority.

Customer Care Manager

We have just received unfortunate news regarding the 2019 Panama City Finals for KAR and Rainbow. Due to damages caused by Hurricane Michael, the Marina Civic Center has officially provided notification that the venue repairs will not be completed in time to produce our events as initially planned.

We have done our due diligence to find and replace the three Panama City Finals, unfortunately there are no available venues with the appropriate dates or space requirements to produce a similar event.

With this devastating news, we are sad to officially announce that KAR and Rainbow Panama City Finals are cancelled. We hope you are able to join us at one of our five other spectacular Finals!

KAR:
Las Vegas, NV – The Mirage – June 29-July 5
Mashantucket, CT – Foxwoods Resort – July 7-12
Anaheim, CA – Hilton Anaheim – July 13-17
Myrtle Beach, SC – Myrtle Beach Convention Center – July 20-24

Rainbow Dance:
Pigeon Forge, TN – LeConte Center – July 8-13

We’ve now made the process to transfer performances between KAR and Rainbow seamless and effortless with our NEW LEVEL RECOMMENDATIONS. If you attend a KAR Regional you can attend a Rainbow Finals or vice versa. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact our office. One of our friendly CCS team members is here to help, they can provide additional details on any of our other spectacular Finals.

Here are some of the many values adds we are able to present to our dance clients and families:

• For the affordable price of $25 for individual dancers or $35 for siblings they will receive all of their photos and videos from the competition

• As a special bonus we have added all of our 2018 photos and videos into the parent accounts free of charge Click Here to Sign Up This offer ends December 31, 2018.

• Ability to download and share all of their photos and videos within 3-5 days after the competition

• Other competitions that are not following this trend are charging by the performance or sometimes by a single photo

• If you attend multiple KAR Regionals in 2019, you only have to pay once for the media package

We understand this is an additional expense but the benefits far outweigh the old media structure. We are confident that your parents are going to love and embrace this new change in the dance competition industry. This fee is required to participate in the 2019 competition season.

BONUS Additional studio VALUE: You as a studio owner will also have the opportunity to receive all of your dancers photos and videos.

We can’t wait to see you and your dancers on the KAR stage!
