AGE CATEGORIES
Our age categories for both festivals are split into four age groups:
BABY - 5 years and under (minimum age 3 years)
JUNIOR - 6 - 8 years
INTER - 9 - 12 years
SENIOR - 13+
Ages are taken from the 1st of the month of the festival.
Each performer can compete as a Solo, Duet, Trio or Group in their age category in each area of the syllabus, with the exception of the Baby class which can only compete in the Solo category. Baby's can compete in Duet, Trio and Group sections providing they have at least one dancer of Junior age.
