SCHEDULING
What to expect at RYZE weekends
- City-specific schedules will be released at least 7 days prior to each event.
- A standard RYZE weekend features Solo and Duo/Trio Competition on Friday and Group Competition on Saturday.
- Friday usually kicks off at 8:00 AM, starting with Ryzing Stars solos and moving through Mini, Junior, Teen, Senior, and Open solos. Duo/Trios follow once solos are complete.
Solo, Duo/Trio refund policy
- If a Solo or Duo/Trio is scheduled before 3:00 PM on Friday and the dancer chooses not to perform, and notifies the office within 72 hours of the schedule being posted, RYZE will provide a full refund for that routine.
Friday group competition
- In some cities, Group Competition may begin on Friday afternoon. Studios will be notified at least two weeks in advance if this adjustment is necessary.
Performance order expectations
- To ensure an efficient and timely event, RYZE reserves the right to adjust the schedule as needed. With limited exceptions (e.g., medical emergencies, active nosebleeds, vomiting, or legitimate costume change issues), routines will be expected to perform in program order. Studios should be prepared for routines to perform up to one hour ahead of the posted time. Delaying or improperly holding a routine may result in disqualification or a deduction in score.
Special note: Utah
- Due to religious observances, our Utah event is scheduled for Thursday through Saturday. There is a small chance solos may begin as early as Wednesday afternoon. Typical schedule is:
