A Happy IPAC Comp Weekend Consists of planning ahead, organization and...

• Camera for great group pics (remember, no photography or video is allowed of the dances on stage, this may result in disqualification. Many of our competitions give us a free media package with photos and videos for you after the event. Please post and share pics on Instagram @inspirationperformingarts and on IPAC’s FB page too:)) -  

• GREAT, POSITIVE attitude!!! 

• Remember, it is NOT solely about the score, it is about the EXPERIENCE! It is about sharing the joy of dance with the audience, family, friends, fellow dancers, studios, and judges! 

• Inspire, and be inspired!  

• Congratulate EVERY dancer backstage as they walk off after their performance and wish EVERY dancer good luck as they are about to perform backstage! Good sportsmanship is a MUST!! For every TOP Overall Winner (whether they are IPAC dancers or not), we will stand and clap for them on stage!  

• Rest well this weekend, stay hydrated and eat healthy (lean proteins, fruits, veggies, etc.), eat breakfast before coffee, don’t try new things this week!

• Bring your open mind, open heart, and Have Fun! 

• You are READY for this! Be confident in all your hard work and dedication, and go out there with the excitement you have for the art of dance! And, DANCE your BEST!  

** Arrive 2 hours prior to your report backstage, and check in with your corresponding teachers!  

**IPAC encourages dancers to stay for each award ceremony, as they do give specialized awards, and sometimes interview the dancers!
