TITLE

Pre-Professional soloists in the Petite, Junior, Pre-Teen, Teen, and Senior age group may compete for Title. Soloists must PRE-REGISTER as they will be competing in a separate session. Soloists may enter multiple routines for the title competition. We will only crown 1 solo per dancer.
Each judge will have a separate score sheet for all Title candidates judging on the routine's style. This is available on the DIRECTORS' resources page for Studio Owners/ Teachers to view. Title Score is separate from the adjudicated scores.
Title age divisions are separated as Petite, Junior, Pre-Teen, Teen, and Senior. If the minimum is not met, entries will be combined into ’12 & Under’ and ’13 & Up,' or all Title contestants will be moved into one division.
Title entries will not be included in regular overalls and will instead be placed in their own overall category. The top 10 contestants in each age division will receive a crown/beanie and an invitation to perform a group number at the Ultimate ceremony.
The Top 15 overall across all age divisions will be invited to The Dance Honors.
