dancer performance requirements

---

You must dance 50% of your team.

You will be asked again at the beginning of 2nd semester for your team count (number on team = all members, eligible and ineligible ) From that information MDDT will  place your team in the appropriate division -. This DOES NOT include  managers/escorts. IF eligibility  becomes an issue with team numbers - please let us know at least 2 weeks before the contest, so size adjustments can be made if necessary. 

Should your team dance with less than 50%, you will be automatically entered into the Elite Division.

PLEASE NOTE: The classification of your officer line is determined by the number of officers, not the number of dancers on your team. 

​

Public, private, and studio competitors compete separately. Each participant competes at their grade level at all competitions. (Example: there will be a 3rd-grade winner, a 4th-grade winner, etc.) Routines should be between 1-1/2 to 2:45 minutes in length. The TOP-SCORING soloists may perform at the award ceremony if time allows.
