Sample COMPETITION EVENT SCHEDULE

San Francisco 

This is a sample of a possible program outline. Depending on the number of entrants at a competition, the event will start on Wednesday or Thursday. 

The exact 2025 timeline will be available closer to the event.
We aim to make the schedule as time-efficient as possible so dancers can maximize their experience at California Dance Classics.

Important Notes:

• Dancers are only required to attend the days they are scheduled to dance. While the competition may span 4–5 days, each dancer is only required to be present on their assigned days.

• Master Classes are closed to the audience. Teachers are invited to observe.
