Team Size Rule: Varsity Public High School Dance Teams classified by team size (Small,
Medium, Large, and Super), must determine their size by reporting
the actual number of members on their team class roster and not how many members will
be competing at the competition. Contest administrators may elect to
further divide some of these team categories that have a large number of
participants. Changes in team size must be made in writing two weeks
before the contest and signed by your administrator. No changes in team
size will be made after the final schedule is sent out.
Routine
Performance Requirement: Varsity Public High School Dance Teams
must perform a minimum of 70% of their actual team membership on all team
routine events entered. All performers must be on the official team roster in order to perform in team events. Performers should be on the floor in view of the judges, and not behind backdrops or curtains, for at least 70% of the routine. Any team that elects to perform less than 70% will
be placed in the Elite category. Any exceptions must be approved by the American office.
Props and
Backdrops Usage: Curtains, staging, and other props for
routines should be constructed to fit through a 7 foot tall double door,
with the center support bar removed, found at most public school
gymnasiums where regional contests are held.
Props and staging may have minor assembly on the floor
but setup and breakdown time for props and staging will be added to the
actual routine performance time length to produce total floor time. Total
floor time should not exceed 4 minutes for all team dance categories except
show production (10 minutes). Any exceptions must be approved by the
contest administrator, in advance of the competition.
Staging and backdrops at Nationals can be brought into the North Tunnel within one hour of your performance and must be removed from the building immediately following the performance. |
