Terms & Conditions
Competitors – All competitors must have a full weekend dancer pass for the World Dance Masters event. Dances will not be eligible unless the dance choreographer has a full weekend pass and is at the event to perform their dance to the judges. Assisting performers do not need a full weekend pass and may dance with the choreographer with just a day pass. As the event takes place in the Spanish Hall, spectator passes will not be eligible to enter the room. Registration for the competition does not gain you access to the event.
Multiple entries & preliminaries -Choreographers can only enter one dance in each category (a maximum of 8 dances per entrant if they were to enter each category in both divisions). In the event of more than 20 dances being submitted to a category, there will be a preliminary round before the event where scripts will be analysed. The best-written scripts will be forwarded to the final. Choreographers will be notified as soon as 20 dances have been entered and finalists will be notified one week before the event.
Merging of categories – If a category has less than ten entries, World Dance Masters may choose to merge with another respective category. This will only be announced at the event.
Dancing your dance – You can dance your dance alone or with as many friends as you wish. The lead choreographer must be at the event to perform the dance.
Music and profanity – It is the responsibility of the choreographer to check that their music choice is suitable for a family audience. Music that is deemed inappropriate for the audience and time of day will not be played and your entry forfeit without refund.
