Please read the following carefully:

1. Each individual may participate in up to two performances.

2. Please use a recent cover dance or practice video (within the last 2 years) for your application.

3. If there are teams with overlapping song preferences, priority for the song will be given to the team that submits its application first.

4. Successful teams will be contacted individually.

5. We recommend keeping the team size to a maximum of 15 members due to venue capacity limitations.

6. The members appearing in the submitted video must be the same as those performing at the gala. No additions are allowed. In exceptional, unforeseen circumstances, absences or substitutions of up to one-third of the team may be allowed. 

7. Preliminary team selections will be based on the quality of the performance in the submitted video. If more teams are selected than there are performance slots, teams will be selected by random draw.

8. Teams with 4 or fewer members may perform a song or mix that is up to 4 minutes in length. Teams with 5 or more members can perform a song or mix that is up to 6 minutes in length.

9. K-Pop songs should make up the main part of the performance.

10. No honorarium will be offered to performing teams, as this is a voluntary event.
