Use Create Dancer when your child has no profile on Kompdesk yet. If a studio has already registered them, or they registered themselves as an independent dancer, claim that profile instead so you do not end up with two records for the same child.
Studio Dancer or Independent Dancer
The form first asks how your child enters events:
| Option | Choose it when |
|---|---|
| Studio dancer | Your child trains at a dance studio and enters events through it. You will need the studio's invite code. |
| Independent dancer | Your child enters events without a studio. You register and pay for their entries yourself. No studio code is needed, and a studio can still be linked later from their profile. |
Only events that accept independent entries let an independent dancer register. If an event is studio-only, the event page says so when you try to register them.
Where to Find It
- Dashboard: the Create Dancer button
- More menu (phone) or sidebar (computer): Create Dancer
- My Dancers: the Create Dancer button at the top
What You Need
| Field | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| First Name | Yes | |
| Surname | Yes | |
| Date of Birth | Yes | Drives age group placement, so it must be exact |
| ID Type and ID Number | Yes | Only the last digits are stored |
| State / Province / Region | No | |
| Studio Code | Studio dancers only | The invite code from your child's dance studio |
The Create Dancer button stays disabled until you have chosen a dancer type and, for a studio dancer, verified the studio code. Type the code, press Verify, and the studio name and town appear when it matches. Ask your child's studio for the code if you do not have it. Change clears a verified code if you picked the wrong studio.
If the Child Already Exists
Kompdesk checks for an existing dancer as you save.
- Exact match (same surname, date of birth, and ID): you are offered Link This Dancer to My Account, which attaches the existing profile rather than creating a second one. Take this option.
- Possible duplicate (same date of birth and ID, different surname): you can Create Anyway if it really is a different child, for example a sibling with a shared record, or Cancel and Review to check the details.
After Creating
- The dancer appears on your dashboard and on My Dancers
- They are linked to the studio whose code you used, so that studio can enter them
- You can register them for events straight away
Editing Later
Open the child on My Dancers and choose Edit Profile. Leaving the ID number field blank on an edit keeps the ID already on file. It does not erase it.
More Than One Child
Create each child separately. They all appear on your dashboard, and the Viewing chips in the header let you focus on one at a time.
