FAQS

WHAT REGISTRATION SCHOLARSHIPS ARE AVAILABLE?

We believe dance education is for all, no matter your level of economic freedom, so here at Liberate Artists we provide a variety of scholarships to families. For Focus, we offer $750 scholarships.

HOW DOES MY DANCER WIN A SCHOLARSHIP?

We award scholarships in a variety of ways. One way to receive a scholarship is by attending Phoenix Fire or Focus. We also award scholarships at our in-studio experiences, through your home studio, and at dance competitions.

DOES THE REGISTRATION FEE INCLUDE HOUSING?

The registration fee does not include housing. The registration fee covers the dancer to attend and participate at Focus. We do provide a group rate at a local hotel. All Travel, Accommodations, and Meals are the responsibility of the dancer’s family.

ARE THERE ANY OTHER ADDED EXPENSES AT FOCUS FOR MY DANCER BESIDES MY REGISTRATION FEE?

All dancers are required to purchase a mandatory Focus t-shirt. We also ask dancers to provide costumes for the music video however, we are a “shop your closet” organization, meaning the items we ask for are things you can typically find in your closet or perhaps borrow from a family member or a friend. Additional add on items may be purchased including Closing Show tickets, Cabaret tickets, Photo/Video Package, Observation Passes, and Merch (these items become available when the Welcome Guide is released in May).
