DanceBUG Videos and Photos are purchased and delivered as digital files. Videos and photos can be accessed via our website DanceBUG.com or on the DanceBUG App. Digital files can be streamed or downloaded from any web-enabled device for 90 days after your purchase or while your Purple ArcHIVE membership is active.
In order to serve our wide range of dancers, there are a number of different packages and ways to purchase media.
Before your Event - Enjoy Media
Before your Event - Special Offer Email
At & After your Event - DanceBUG Shop
Special Offer Single-Event Media Package
Approximately 7 to 10 days before an event, you may receive a special offer email. These special offers are sent to all attending studios, and our guardians who have previously purchased media; are active Purple ArcHIVE members; and have opted in on DanceBUG emails. To take advantage of this offer, locate the direct link within the email. It should look like this:
Click on the link and checkout! Special offers automatically expire at 11:30 PM EST the night before an event starts. If your studio is not dancing until Saturday, if the event begins on a Friday, be sure to place your order Thursday before 11:30 PM EST. Special Offers are a Single Event Package which includes all the videos and photos (where applicable) of a single dancer. Because orders are placed before an event, you will not be able to preview the photos prior to purchase.
Missed the Special Offer? Don't Worry!
You will still be able to purchase media on our website DanceBUG.com or in the DanceBUG App. For 2026, we have lowered our Single Event Packages as well as the costs per routine.

If the photos have already been uploaded for a routine, you will be able to preview the photos by clicking on a routine and scrolling side to side both on the phone and on the website.
