LEVELS
At WIDC, we acknowledge the fact that there is a learning process in which all dancers work through in their path of dance. We offer a wide array of levels in order for every dancer to be able to shine in their category!
Routines are calculated based on the level of each dancer. To change the level of a routine, the levels of the dancers within the routine must be changed. All dancer levels must be inputted during registration.
SOLO RULES: Dancers must compete all of their solos in the same level. Dancers may run for title with 1 routine in each title class (dance, acro, modeling).
DUO/TRIO RULES: The highest level dancer will determine the placement of the routine.
GROUP RULES: The majority of the group determines the level of the routine. If a dance is 50/50 split, the dance will be placed in the higher level.
If 3 judges unanimously agree a routine is in the wrong level, said routine will receive the "BUMP UP THE JAM" award and be bumped to the next level. Soloists that receive the BUMP UP THE JAM for 1 solo will be bumped for all solos.
If you have any specific questions about leveling you can email us at any time.
