There will be costume invigilation at this competition. Please read the rules.

• PRE-BRONZE COMPETITOR STATUS: Pre-Bronze is recommended for someone who:
  • Does not have more than a year of competitive experience, or
  • Is competing in the particular style of the first time and
  • Basically is doing only steps 1-7 in the Bronze syllabus of the particular style​​​

We will be using the honor system and will not be checking to make sure that you are truly a Pre-Bronze dancer. We trust that you will respect the Pre-Bronze level as a place to encourage dancers who are relatively new to competition &/or the style of dance.
