How it works

  1. Set up the competition

    Add the name, dates and your logo, then a room for each stage. Connect Stripe if you sell tickets.

  2. Send the link to studios

    Studios pass one link to their families, who watch in any browser with no app or account.

  3. Go live on every stage

    Put a phone on a tripod at each stage, or connect your crew's cameras over RTMP.

Open to everyone, or sell tickets and raise donations

Anyone with the event link watches free, with no ticket, sign-up or app.

Built for competition weekends

Every stage on one link

Add a room for each stage, up to 10, and name them Main Stage or Ballroom B. Families switch stages with the tabs on one event page, and one ticket can cover every stage. Each stage streams from its own phone or camera, and every extra stage uses one more credit per day, or none on the Unlimited plan.

The page keeps selling after the awards

Every stage is recorded, and when the awards end, families who missed their dancer's number buy the replay at your ticket price or a separate replay price. Prefer live only? Turn the replay off.

Hand the stream to your production crew

Crews stream a wide and a close camera through EventLive for Windows or Mac, or through OBS, vMix or an ATEM over RTMP. Send them go-live instructions without sharing your login, or let them set up the event and send you a link to connect your own Stripe account.

What organizers say

“We stream all our tournament weekends now. Parents who can't make the trip buy tickets to watch from home, and we've generated over $3,000 in extra revenue this season. It's a win-win.”
Mike T., Youth Wrestling League Director
“They handle all the hard stuff. We only need to provide the RTMP feed, so as long as we have internet connectivity, we can stream professional events without copyright takedown or strikes.”
Bradley Whitlock, BW Photography Studio

Frequently asked questions

Yes, replays of dance competition live streams are instantly available and downloadable. Online replay is included for 30 days, with options to extend to 1 year or 10 years.

Yes, if you want to. Ticket sales are optional, and by default anyone with the event link can watch for free. To sell tickets, connect your Stripe account, set a fixed price or let viewers choose what to pay, and families buy tickets on a secure Stripe checkout. Ticket revenue goes directly to your Stripe account, and EventLive charges $1.50 per ticket plus Stripe fees. See how to sell tickets.

Yes, if you want to. Fundraising is optional and works on free and ticketed events. Set up a fundraiser in EventLive on the web and choose any nonprofit listed on Pledge. Viewers donate beside the stream or on the replay, and on a ticketed event the Donate button appears under Get Tickets. Donations go to the nonprofit, and donors get a tax receipt by email. See fundraisers and donations.

No, there is no limit to the number of viewers on EventLive. Stream dance competitions to dozens or hundreds. For professional dance competitions, there is a soft limit of 5,000 viewer hours per event, and none on events that sell tickets. Please reach out to us for details and a custom quote.

A phone is all that's needed to live stream a dance competition. Professional equipment can also be used.

Never. The dance competition will stream uninterrupted from start to finish.

Year-end recitals and holiday shows have their own setup: family tickets, matinee and evening shows, and private streams for studio families. See live streaming for dance recitals.
