COMPETITION LEVELS / DIVISIONS:

Novice Division - Students studying a very limited amount hours of dance per week, and/or with little to no competition experience may enter the Novice division. The scoring will be more lenient to make the competition experience more enjoyable for these dancers. 

  *Moreover, the novice division dancer should display a level this is not yet refined. They should have a limited dance vocabulary. Their quality of movement and choreography should be limited in order for a routine to qualify to enter this division. 

The Novice Division is intended to be a space for those dancers who are either very young and new to the competition stage, and/or are very limited in training. Just like a more experienced dancer, they have a love of dance and want to showcase that passion on the stage, but lack the skillset to compete at the higher level.

There are General Adjudication Awards and Overall Awards in this Division. *No cash prizes are given in the novice or recreational division.

Recreational Division - Students studying a limited amount hours of dance per week and/or with moderate competition experience may enter the recreational division. These dancers should show an intermediate level of skills....meaning they have mastered some movement, but still show room for improvement in their execution of their dance training and performance of their choreography.

The scoring will be a little more lenient than the elite level to make the competition experience more enjoyable for these dancers. There are General Adjudication Awards, Overall Awards and Top Score Awarded along with $1,600 in Scholarships. *No cash prizes are given in the novice or recreational division.

Elite Division - Students studying a significant amount of hours of dance training and competition experience are required to enter in the elite division. These dancers should showcase a high quality of movement and execution of their routine choreography. Moreover they show a significant level of training and technique. They are not flawless as they are still children in training but can perform at a level that is above an intermediate dancer. 

The scoring in the elite level is designed for the performing dancer with competition expertise. General Adjudication Awards, Overall Awards, Top Score Award, and $3,000 in Cash Prizes are given in this division along with $1,600 in Scholarships.

Divisions for dancers to enter the competition must be determined by the studio directors/teachers. This decision should be based on your students level of training, abilities, and quality of movement as a team and individual dancer. Please use the above guidelines for selecting which division will suite you best.

*At any given time the Competition Director and/or Judges feel like a competition entry does not belong in a particular competition level, it is their discretion to move them.
