How does a Dance Competition Work?
OK, so you have entered your first competition - what should you expect? When entering the venue, competitors are required to hand in your registration card and you will be issued with a number. The Gentleman will pin this number on his back. The programs for each competition is different and can be found on their web site prior to the competition or available at the venue. When you arrive at the venue, its a good idea to warm up and get changed with plenty of time to spare prior to your own event(s). Dancers are required to wait in the marshalling area normally 3 events prior to their own event. When called to the floor, couples will walk on to the floor and present prior to taking positions for their first dance. Once the music ends you simply present once more for the judges and once all dances are complete you exit the floor. After the bracket of events is complete, there will be presentations where results are announced. Ensure you collect your dance card prior to leaving the venue for the day. If you accrued any elevation points, these will be added to your registration card.
