AVIE Solutions

Dance event production
in Texas.

AVIE Solutions handles production across Fred Astaire Texas events, including Lone Star Dance Competition. Here’s what we work through when planning a competition in a hotel ballroom or studio.

Discuss your Texas event

Begin with the
competition schedule.

The program determines the production workload. Send the event dates, session times, floor plan and expected attendance, along with the performances and announcements that need specific cues.

We use that information to discuss music coverage, microphones, floor lighting, video displays and the people needed to operate them. Recording and judging workflows can be included in the same plan.

Decisions to make before load-in.

Venue access & setup time

Confirm loading access, setup windows, room availability and where equipment can be stored. A clear schedule gives the crew time to install and check the production.

Existing venue AV

Share the venue’s equipment list and AV requirements. We identify the equipment and connections that can be used, then specify the additions.

Competition floor & audience

A room plan helps us discuss speaker coverage, sightlines, lighting positions and where display content will be useful.

Participant & backstage information

Decide whether participants need live heats and schedules, personal backstage calls, or recording services. We select and configure the relevant AVIE software.

A production plan
you can review.

The proposal sets out the agreed equipment, crew, software and services. Event duration, venue requirements and production complexity determine the scope and price.

Ralph’s experience as a dancer and studio owner informs those conversations. Read his story or see the event production services.

Practical questions

Do you only work on large competitions?

We also handle smaller studio events and performances. We plan around your actual program and space.

Can we bring AVIE to an event outside Texas?

Share the location, dates and production requirements so we can discuss the logistics and availability for your event.
