COMPETITION

---

Age is the average of all dancers as of January 1st of the competition year. This average determines which age category you will compete in and must include the age of any person on stage for any amount of time. Drop the decimal when calculating the average. (Ex. Age 12.2 would be 12 and complete in the teen category)

Mini (5 and under) Petite (6-8) Junior (9-11) Teen (12-14) Senior (15-19) Adult (20+)

Dancers will compete in a range of three levels: Fearless, Limitless, and Endless. Teachers use your best judgment when assigning levels. Based on your judgment, if your dancer’s individual skills exceed their range of level, be courteous of other potential dancers in their level range, please bump dancer up a level. Endless reserves the right to bump any dancer up or down a level to best fit their skill level at any given city.

Dancers will be brought onto the stage before they perform. They will be asked a question by our Show Host. Judges will score the dancer based on how they present themselves, how they answer the question, and their personality. Title scores are not combined with solo scores.

Dancers will have the opportunity to register for an exciting pop-up improv competition. Each performer will take the stage to showcase their improvisation skills in fast-paced 30-second song increments, with music chosen completely at random. It’s a thrilling challenge that pushes creativity, confidence, and versatility. The winner of each category will receive a partial scholarship to a convention.

Dancers may enter the photogenic competition at the merchandise table. Dancers must bring an 8x10 photo with their name, studio, and age listed on the back. There will be one winner for each age (mini, petite, junior, teen, senior). Photos are judged on Visual Appeal, Expressiveness, Age Appropriate, Composition, and Lighting/Quality of Photo. Photogenic winners will be announced at the last award ceremony of the weekend. A score sheet will be provided with each photo. If you would like your photo back, photos must be picked up after the last award ceremony. Any photos not picked up will be disposed of after each event.
