Rookie / Veteran (Mixed proficiency)

Registration

Deadline: Monday, April 15, 2024, 11:59PM PDT

This level is for schools that do not have enough leaders or followers to partner with new dancers. It is also called the “Mixed proficiency” and is similar to a Pro/Am event, but with an experienced Amateur instead of a Pro. To enter this category, the two dancers cannot be regular partners.

The rules:

  1. One partner (the Rookie) must dance for less than one year, and the other partner (the Veteran) must dance for more than one year.
  2. Both partners must be amateur dancers and have not been in a partnership.
  3. The dance patterns are strictly restricted to Bronze syllabus only.
  4. There are no costume restrictions.
  5. The events will be all single dance events (no multi-dance).

Note: Same-sex partners are allowed in the syllabus events. The Open Events are open to everyone, regardless of your dance level. The organizers reserve the right to cancel events with fewer than four (4) couples entered.

Please read the competition instructions before registering below. When registering for a “Dancer” account, please enter your school name under “Studio/Team” field.
