    AGE DIVISIONS

    MINI Division                       

    Average age: 8 and under

     

    JUNIOR Division                  

    Average age: 9-12

     

    TEEN Division                      

    Average age: 13-15

     

    SENIOR Division                  

    Average age: 16+

     

    **All Ages are as of January 1, 2013

     

    To determine the average age of an entry, add all the ages together and divide by the total number of dancers in the entry. All averages are to be rounded down to the nearest whole number. For example, if a routine average age is 15.6, you would drop the decimal. Therefore the routine would compete in the Teen 13-15 age category.

     

    The average age of each entry may not drop more than one age division below the age of the oldest dancer in the entry, regardless of the actual average age.  For example, if an entry contains dancers ranging in age from 7-18, the entry may not compete in a division younger than the 13-15 age category (one division younger than the oldest dancer -18 yrs. ) regardless of the average age of the group.

     

    Names and ages of all dancers must appear on the entry form for each competition number.  Incomplete registration forms will NOT be accepted.  Every competition dancer must be prepared to present proof of age if requested.
