Starting the Process
Okay so our dance crew decided to join the Dance Premier League this season. Had no clue how the signup worked honestly. First thing I did? Grabbed my laptop around 10 PM after practice and just typed “Dance Premier League registration” into Google. Spent like 20 minutes clicking through stuff before finding the actual signup portal.
Preparing Our Team Details
Here’s what we needed ready before filling anything out:
- Crew captain info – full name and phone number
- Payment method – because obviously there’s fees
- Dance style category – we do street jazz so had to pick that
- Team member count – counted heads twice since Mark was debating joining
Made everyone send me their birth certificates too. Why? Age verification rules. Felt like a damn secretary collecting all these PDFs.
Actual Registration Steps
Created our account on their platform first. Password requirements were nuts – needed symbols, capitals, numbers. Took three tries to get one accepted.
- Team profile setup: Typed our crew name “Rhythm Rebels” and uploaded our squad photo from last competition
- Payment section: Card declined twice before remembering to call the bank about international transactions
- Waiver forms: Scrolled through endless legal jargon before digitally signing
- Final review: Spotted two typos in member names – good thing I checked
Hit submit and got this nerve-wracking “processing” spinner. Took five whole minutes before confirmation popped up. Copied the reference number immediately and screenshotted everything.
After Submitting
Got email verification next morning. Followed up with league organizers just in case – turns out sending one polite email saves weeks of anxiety. Registration status changed to “approved” three business days later. Whole crew group-chatted in all caps when the confirmation came through.
Biggest hassle? The video submission requirement. Had to re-record our performance tape four times because lighting looked weird. Pro tip: Just pay for professional videography instead of using Jenny’s iPhone like we did. Worth every penny.
