- After your dancer creates an original dance to one of the 5 music tracks below, you should submit a video, 60 seconds in length, of your dancer performing their original choreography. The video must be filmed horizontally (in “landscape” mode), showing the dancer in their entirety at all times, from the top of their head to the bottom of their feet. No zoom-ins for close-ups are permitted. You can pan left and right to follow the dancer in the frame.
- Limit one (1) entry per dancer.
- Submissions will be judged in two phases; final judging will be by Abby Lee Miller.
- If your dancer is judged to be a Potential Winner for Dance Moms: Abby’s Virtual Dance Off, you will be notified by phone and/or email by April 29th. If selected, you and your dancer will need to be available for video conference on April 30th.
Creativity is encouraged, whether it comes to fancy footwork or an interesting at-home backdrop. As Lifetime puts it, “a hip-hop routine in the kitchen or a ballet recital in the backyard — anything goes!”
