Frequently Asked Questions
America’s Clogging All*Stars dancers are selected by invitation and/or application. Dancers may be invited based on skill level and performance quality, recognition at competitions, workshops, and the ACAdemy, and recommendations from respected team directors and instructors.
In addition, dancers may request consideration by completing the All*Stars Take Part Application available on our website and submitting a video.
Submission requirements may vary by event.
This is one of the most common questions we get! A dancer's skillset, their ability to endure the travel plus the teams practices and performances, and their maturity are what is most important. We have had dancers as young as 8 and as old as 68 travel and perform with us in the past. If the dancer can learn, endure the practices and travel, and perform at a high level then they will be a great asset to ACA!
Performance requirements vary by event and trip. Some opportunities involve parade performances, while others take place on football fields, stages, or special venues. Certain trips may include multiple performance opportunities.
Teams are selected and choreography is created specifically to meet the requirements of each event. Routines are generally contemporary in style and require a high-level, advanced skill set.
The more the merrier! Family members and friends are welcome to go with us! They will pay the same trip price and get all of the perks as anyone else traveling with us. Every traveler must register online and follow the trip's payment schedule.
That is perfectly fine. America’s Clogging All*Stars brings together dancers from studios and teams across the country. Many All*Stars participate and travel independently of their home studio, joining a larger team made up of dancers from multiple states and backgrounds.
Through organized rehearsals, team bonding, and shared experiences, our goal is to create a supportive, unified All*Stars team where every dancer feels welcomed, prepared, and part of the ACA family.
Dancers can room with their parent’s, family and friends that have registered for the trip through ACA.
Those of you with only one or two representatives from your studio will enjoy making new friends through the assignment of roommates.
You can suggest a roommate(s) or we will pair you up with others to maximize the number of people per room and keep room costs to a minimum.
The ACA website Members Area is exclusive to dancers who have been selected as All*Stars and their families, providing a secure space for trip details, updates, and important information related to their participation.
Membership also allows dancers to be considered for ACA performance opportunities, receive important communications and invitations, and access exclusive events offered through America’s Clogging All*Stars.
Once selected as an All*Star, sign up to become a Member. When approved, you will receive an email confirmation and can then sign in to access the exclusive Members Area.
To become a part, first fill out the Take Part application and we will let you know when you are accepted for a certain opportunity. Next, Sign Up for our Members area and upon approval you can Register for the trip on the Trip Information page within the Members section of our site.
Each trip has a goal or limit to the amount of dancers we can have perform with us. Registration will remain open until we reach that limit. Once we hit capacity we may open a Waiting List. Then if we have dancer attrition we will first consider those on the Waiting List to fill available spots. We encourage anyone that is interested in a trip to be sure to register as soon as possible.
We accept credit card, Zelle and personal check.
Once you have registered for a trip you will be setup in the ACA Portal. Via the portal you can pay via credit card.
If you'd like to pay via Zelle that option is available, as is personal check.Sometimes life changes or things come up that cause our plans to adjust. If you are registered for a trip and need to cancel, send an email to us and let us know who within your family needs to drop from which trip. We will review the cancellation policy for the trip and then start the process for the drop. If a refund can be paid we will let you know and confirm where to send it.
