AGE AVERAGING CLARIFICATION
To find the appropriate age category for your routine, simply add all the dancers’ ages as of the start date of competition and divide by the number dancers in the entry. When finding the average age of your routine always remove the decimal point. For example if an average age returns a number of 15.8, remove the .8 to have an average age of 15. Therefore, your number would be placed under the Teen Division, Ages 13-15.
AGE DIVISIONS
Petite Ages 8 and under
Junior Ages 9 – 12
Teen Ages 13 – 15
Senior Ages 16 – 21
