HOW DOES A CHAMPIONSHIP WORK IN GENERAL?


Before entering a championship you have to register your dances in our registration portal. The registered dances must comply with our dancing rules. The prices for the dances are also listed on the portal.

The championships usually last 3 to 4 days. The starting list and schedule are usually published three weeks before the championship. With this starting list you get a schedule of the championship with the needed information (This includes the order of the disciplines).

Let´s start…

At the hall entrance you will find a list with the information regarding dressing rooms. There, you will find the personal area allocated to you and your dancers.
We will be ready and waiting for you in the hall. We open every championship with a welcome speech and start directly with the first discipline.

There will always be two rounds (more information on the the rounds and points)

Each country has its national championships. However, if a country does not have a national championship, dancers can start with a prequalification to the International Championship. This is a special round before the normal first and second round (final round). Thus, we can offer dancers the opportunity to qualify with us for the International Championship, even if they have not had the possibility to take part in a national championship.

After the danced rounds, the championship award ceremony begins

The ceremony takes place immediately after the final round (second round).

Special certificates are awarded in addition to first, second and third place. There are at least 5 special certificates:

– The highest score of all disciplines in the Amateur and ProAm rating class
– Future Talent Minis, Children, Junior I, Junior II
– Best costume 
– Best choreography Solo, Pair/Trio, Small Group, Group

The special certificates are handed out after the first, second and third place certificates.

After the championship

After the championship, you can see your ratings in the registration portal to get even better for the next year.
 

For you as a dance school, for your students and their parents, taking part in a competition usually means time, additional effort, additional costs and sometimes also a risk. BUT,...
