 New Solo Limit!
For the 2009 season there is no solo limit. Dancers can enter as many solos as they wish.
Music
CD/Cassette tapes must be cued and the dancers backstage when their category is announced. A tape deck , CD player with pitch control and iPod® connection will be provided. Although we use the highest quality equipment and experience very few problems, we highly recommend that you have a back up CD or cassette with you.
Teachers or teacher’s representatives must play their own music. Random timing will be in effect. Routines will be timed from the moment the dance/movement begins until the moment the dance/movement ends. We will not time entrances and exits unless they are choreographed (i.e., running on and off stage is not included in the timing). Choreographed entrances/exits and bows are timed.
Overtime penalty: 5 point deduction from the average score
New Fairness Guidelines
- The studio is responsible for entering their routines into the correct categories and divisions. As dancers can change studios – please ensure that you are using all years of training received not just the years of training at their current studio.
Please check your entries carefully prior to submitting them to our office.
- Routines which have received compensation outside of a competitive environment must be entered in either the 20 – 29 year old category or the Adult category. Dance Power is an amateur dance competition.
- If a teacher is in a routine that routine must be entered in a Division III category or where appropriate in the 20 – 29 year old category or the Adult category.
