The International Competitive Dancer Registry (ICDR) is the world’s only secure online registry in which competitive dancers can track, showcase, and protect their verified experience, event participation, and achievements.

The ICDR was built to give dancers and their guardians control over their identity, their performances, and their history.

The ICDR will be soft launching in 2025 with a full launch in 2026.

The ICDR allows studios to register their dancers into their competitive team and to document their accomplishments into a secure digital platform.

To become a registered ICDR studio, visit www.competitivedancer.com and sign up. Once your studio is validated by our team, you will be officially recognized as an ICDR-verified studio.

As a dance studio, there is no fee to become ICDR-registered. 

Studios that register before August 31, 2025, will receive Founding Member status and the following benefits:

• Free dancer registration for the 2025 season
• Twice the rebate allowance for administration work
• Exclusive discounts and benefits for subsequent seasons
• Opportunities to collaborate with our team on the development of tools and resources
• Showcase your early commitment to this important platform by displaying the ICDR Founding Member icon on your website and media.

Registering to the ICDR establishes youth as official competitive dancers on an international scale. Their ICDR account tracks their performances, awards, and gives them access to innumerable resources to succeed on the competitive circuit and in everyday life.

All information provided to the ICDR is used for the purpose of maintaining current and active records of dance history of registered participants including studio affiliations, attendance at competitive events, conventions, and workshops. The magic of the ICDR is that the vital information that is private data like a birth date is embedded into a dancer's exclusive ID number.

To remain an active ICDR dancer, a yearly fee, paid in September will apply. However, registration is free for the 2025 seaon.

To become a registered ICDR dancer, your studio must first sign up and complete the verification process. Once verified, the studio will be able to register its competitive team.
