A whole competition, not five programs

Dance competition software, from registrations to results

Running a dance competition or contest means lining up hundreds of entries, collecting payments, building a timetable that fits the day, getting the judges to vote and handing out results before the hall empties. DanceMatik does it with a single piece of software, built for amateur sports associations (ASD), clubs, dance schools and sports promotion bodies (EPS): Registrations collects entries and payments, DanceMatik Live Gara (control room, judging, projection) runs the day, and the data entered at registration travels all the way to the official report.

Competitions as your rules describe them

DanceSport, Latin and Standard, Caribbean, contemporary or ballet: each competition has its discipline, age category, levels, types and the line-ups it accepts.

  • Formations

    Solo, duo and couples, group, pro-am, teacher & student: each competition says which it accepts; for duos you choose the label Duo, Couple or Duo/Couple, and pro-am and teacher & student each get their own icon.

  • Prices the way you want

    Tiers that change with the number of entries, exceptions per competition, per level or per type, and coupons for whoever you choose.

  • Hide prices if you want

    On the public page you can hide prices; entrants still see them in the cart and at checkout.

  • Display order

    A priority number from 0 to 9 per competition decides the order on the page and in the cart, after the formation; with no number it stays last, as today.

  • Links between competitions

    If entering one competition requires entering others too, you declare it once and the system rejects an incomplete order.

  • From Excel and from last year

    Competitions can be imported from Excel, and for the next edition you clone the event with venues, competitions and price lists ready.

Registrations and payments you do not recount

Dance schools, associations and clubs register their dancers online, and each entry arrives already paid and checked.

  • Schools enter their dancers

    The list of dancers stays in the account and is reused at every competition; it can also be loaded from Excel; the school is linked by picking it from the list, never typed by hand.

  • Ages and categories checked

    The age check, with the tolerance for out-of-range dancers that you decide, runs on the server while people fill in the form.

  • Music uploaded at registration

    If the competition asks for it, the MP3 track is uploaded with the entry or by the date you set; a file that is too long is rejected.

  • Card, PayPal, bank transfer and credit

    You choose the methods for each event, and you can absorb the fees or pass them on to the entrant.

Competition day

Numbers, timetable, judging, the screen in the hall and results all come from the same entries.

  • Competition numbers assigned

    Every soloist, couple or group gets its number at registration, with no lists to fill in on the morning; you can hide it until number pick-up or until the competition goes live.

  • Timetable from the entries

    The timetable is built by dragging the competitions that have entries, with durations estimated from the music, and spread across the stages.

  • Judging and voting from a phone

    Judges vote from a web page, with the Skating System or with the 3D system, scoring on criteria; the chairperson runs rounds and finals.

  • The big screen in the hall

    The projector or LED wall shows who is on the floor, calls to the floor, sponsors and the control room's announcements.

  • Official reports and results

    Results and the official report come out as PDF and Excel; the ones you publish can be downloaded from the event page without signing up.

Frequently asked questions

Which app can I use to organise a dance competition or dance event?
For a dance competition or contest you can use DanceMatik, Italian software that runs in the browser: online registration with payment, timetable, judges voting from their phones, the big screen in the hall and PDF reports in one place. It is built for events with registrations, competitions or tickets; for a social dance night without competitions it is not the right tool. To compare solutions, see the guide to choosing the software.
Is there Italian dance competition software with the Skating System?
Yes: DanceMatik is Italian software that calculates dance competitions with the Skating System, with the majority rules and, in multi-dance events, rules 9, 10 and 11. Judges vote from their phones and the PDF report shows how every placing was reached: details on the judging page.
Do judges need an app?
No: with DanceMatik judges vote from a web page, in the browser of a phone or tablet, with their own account. The same goes for running the competition and for entry control.
Can I show the competition and sponsors on a big screen?
Yes: with DanceMatik the projector or LED wall in the hall shows who is on the floor, calls to the floor, sponsors on three levels and the control room's announcements, updated in real time. What the screen does, and what it does not do, is on the big screen page.
How much does it cost to run a competition with DanceMatik?
Publishing a competition on DanceMatik is free, and registrations carry a commission you can absorb or pass on to the entrant. Publishing the timetable and running judging and voting live beyond the first competitions are paid services, bought per event.
Can I try the judging system before paying?
Yes: on DanceMatik building the timetable and setting up the judges is free, and running and voting can be tried on the first competitions of the event. Trial reports carry a «DEMO» mark until you activate the full service.
Can the public see the results live?
No: DanceMatik has no public live scoreboard. After the competition you publish results and reports as PDFs on the event page, and anyone can download them without signing up; in the hall the competition goes on the big screen, from a staff-only view.
Can competitions count towards a circuit?
Yes: with DanceMatik a competition can be a leg of a circuit, and its results become points in the overall ranking.
Does it work for a contemporary or ballet competition too?
Yes: DanceMatik is not only for DanceSport. You write the discipline of each competition yourself, line-ups go from solo to group, and judges can vote with the 3D system, scoring on criteria such as technique and interpretation, instead of the Skating System.
How does a dance competition work?
At a dance competition dancers enter by discipline, age category, level and line-up. On the day each competition goes through its rounds — heats, semi-final, final — in front of judges who vote with the Skating System or with the 3D system, and the results end up in an official report.
