Please note that the Age Divisions are set up with the assumption that most
dancers’ technical and artistic level are more or less in line with the number of
years of training.  We are aware that this is not always the case, but we had the
choice of using technical level or age bracket as a grouping criterion, and we chose
age. It is our sincere hope that the existence of any technical disparities within any
given age group will hinder neither the fun nor the learning experience of
participating in this competition.
