Category Rules
A Quick Guide: Here's a breakdown of the rules for dance and age categories. Levels: All dance and age categories are divided into Beginner and Advanced levels. Advanced Competitors: May compete in the next age category. They are automatically disqualified from the Beginner categories.
(A) Pre-championship Competitors: Those dancing in a category for the first time. Have the option to dance in the next age category, but must remain in a (A) Pre-championship level for that category. Violation of this rule will result in the dancer automatically being moved to the last position.
Note 1:
In the Duo and Couples categories, the oldest defines the age category in which they will participate.
Note 2 - GROUPS / Large (Mega) Groups:
In groups of up to 7 people, 1 person can be older.
In groups of 8 to 13 people, 2 people may be older.
In groups of 14 to 19 people, 4 people may be older.
In groups of 20+ people, 5 people may be older.
*The older should be one class older than the class they are competing in. For example, in a Juvenile I category of 6 people, a dancer may be Juvenile II in age but not Junior I.
In adult groups (Groups Adults, excluding Duo & Trio) consisting of at least 4 people, only one of them can be a teacher.
Note 3:
The age category is determined by the athlete's year of birth.
