AGE DIVISIONS

*Age Division is determined by average age of performers:
Mini: 4-6
Petite: 7-9
Junior: 10-12
Teen: 13-15
Senior: 16-19
Adult/Pro: 20 and up
If the average age of the group is 15.9, the entry will compete in the 15-year-old age division.
*A performer’s age is determined by their age as of January 1st, 2019.
* Studio directors must be prepared to present birth certificates should a protest arise.
*Any person who is visible on stage once the routine has started and prior to the end of the routine will be considered a performer and is subject to age division and group size rules.
*Any group including a performer who is 18 years old or older, AND out of high school, cannot be entered in our 12 and under age division, regardless of the average age.
*Any routine including a teacher is not eligible for overall awards. A teacher is someone who choreographs or teaches class and is 21 years of age or older. Entries with teachers in them may perform for adjudication only. This does not apply to student teachers under the age of 21.
