The music length is based on the level the athlete is in. You can check out our music rules guide to learn complete details for music lengths and common penalties.

We recommend choosing the music in cooperation with your coach/trainer. Other factors that you should take into account is the routine style and performance ability of the athlete. A fast paced song can make it difficult for lower levels or beginners to keep up with elements and will result with a lower score, due to penalties. Music that is chosen strategically will help athletes perform routines where they can show off their strengths and minimize penalties.

Performance rights License

If you plan to use copyrighted work to play the song in public or at an event, you will need to obtain a public performance license. This gives the owner of the establishment the capability to legally use the song in gyms, competitions, restaurants, etc. You can obtain these performance rights license through BMI, SESAC, or ASCAP. These companies combined hold about 95% of the worlds songs in their repository. You can also contact us to seek additional services to help you obtain a license for your event. 

Synchronization License

If you plan to use copyrighted music in a video format like youtube, film, or dvd you must obtain a synchronization license. Basic steps involve contacting the owner of the sound recording (artists record label)  and the owner of the composition (songwriters publisher) and negotiate the terms with them. An easier and cheaper method is to go through companies that have already obtained the proper licenses and to work with the songs they have in their repository. Additionally some companies will choose to work with a cover band that has the proper licensing to save on costs. 

Distribution

Unless you own the right to the music file or have obtained the proper licenses and contracts from the copyright holders/ publishers you cannot legally share/distribute the copyrighted work. Ripping music from Youtube/ and other video sites are not a legal manner of obtaining copy written work and in many cases can result in legal repercussion.
