DETAILS
Axiom is a one-day convention focused on education, technique, and dancer growth. Classes may include ballet, jazz, contemporary, hip hop, tap, musical theater, strength & conditioning, leaps & turns, and progressions. Dancers will also have the opportunity to participate in an audition class and earn scholarships during the closing ceremony.
Observer Wristbands can only be purchased by those with participating dancers who are not teachers, studio owners, or dancers. Observer passes do not give access to teacher rooms or audition classes.
Axiom reserves the right to not provide Observer Bands at every event.
Observer Wristbands may not be available to every city due to venue capacity restrictions and may not be sold onsite at every event.
Observer wristbands are not required for the closing awards ceremony or warm up.
Observer wristbands are NON-REFUNDABLE. No exceptions.
If you Pre-Registered with your studio, pick up your Wristband from your Teacher.
If you do not have an observer wrist band you will not be granted access into the ballrooms.
Observers with wristbands are allowed in the Mini, Junior, Petite, Teen, and Senior ballrooms but not the Teacher Ballroom.
