"NEW" for 2025:  an important update regarding age group qualifications for solos. If a dancer competes up an age group, they will only qualify to place in overalls in their original  age category. Example: If a dancer has two tap solos— one in the 10 -year  category and another in the 11-year category—they will only qualify for placement in overalls for the 10-year category.
 

In order to qualify for overall awards a minimum of 3 group numbers must be entered by a studio (with the exception of our fist two early events).
 

Absolutely NO baby powder, gels, paint, dirt etc. to be used during a routine
 

A contestant making a second attempt to a routine may be adjudicated and will be marked but will not place in the category or qualify for overall awards, except in the Novice division.
 

Payment in full must be received with your entries by a Studio cheque.
 

Every competition will have a limited number of entries accepted on
a first come basis.
 

There is no limit of entries any one studio may enter, but dancers may not compete against themselves in any age division or category in the same dance form (e.g. If a performer has 2 jazz solo's they may perform one routine in the next age group up). Only groups you may be in the same category but not more than 50% can be the same dancers.
 

If a dancers does not dance in their scheduled category when there are other competitors and dances at a later time they will not be entitled to qualify for overalls awards however a dancer may dance ahead of schedule and their mark will be held until the category has danced. If they choose to dance after the category has already danced they will dance for a mark only and will not qualify for overalls!
 

All award monetary scholarships are awarded to the studio Director!
 

Prohibited: live animals and any routines that contain fire pyrotechnic devices, swords and knives, failure to comply with this policy could result in disqualification!
