Informal Concert Guidelines

1. All groups and individuals registered for the festival are eligible to perform in the Informal Concert.

2. Dances presented in the Informal Concert are restricted to work not being adjudicated.

3. In the interest of creating opportunities for many schools, we are requesting that only one dance per institution be shown in this informal concert.

4. Performance slots will be filled on a first come, first served basis.

5. The maximum time for each work presented in the Informal Concert is 12 minutes. The burden of meeting the time requirement rests with the choreographer. ACDFA recommends that the choreographer allow a time margin within the twelve-minute limit for technical errors or theater peculiarities.

6. A brief spoken introduction may precede the piece. If so, the introduction time must be included in the 12-minute time limit for the dance.

7. Works-in-progress may be shown.

8. An audio tape or CD of concert quality must be provided by the choreographer in the format specified by the Festival Coordinator.
