CATEGORIES

***** NOTES

1. In case any desired category is inadvertently not included, please contact the organizers.

2. The Organizing Commitee reserves the right to merge categories, in case the prescribed number of three entries per category is not completed. The merger concerns all groups and solo beginners and advanced categories, provided they belong to the same age group.

All types of dance and age categories are divided into beginners and advanced levels. Competitors in the Advanced category may compete in the next age category, but are automatically disqualified from the Beginners categories. Those who declare beginners categories (appearing for the first time in their category) have the right to dance in the next age category, but again in beginners. In case of violation of the rule, the dancer will automatically move to the last position.
Note 1:
In the Duo and Couples categories, the oldest defines the age category in which they will participate.
Note 2 - GROUPS / mega Groups:

In groups of up to 7 people, 1 person can be older.
In groups of 8 to 13 people, 2 people may be older.
In groups of 14 to 19 people, 4 people may be older.

*The olders should be one class older than the class they are competing in. For example in a Juvenile I category of 6 people, a dancer may be Juvenile II in age but not Junior I.
In adult groups (Groups Adults excluding Duo & Trio) consisting of at least 4 people, only one of them can be a teacher.
