Divisions & Points
Points
In each competition, you earn one point for every dancer you rank higher than. Additionally, you receive an extra point for each finalist you rank higher than.
Divisions
You can compete in three different categories: Leader, Follower, and Role Rotation. Each category is divided into divisions. To be promoted to the next division, you must achieve a certain number of points and final placements. The divisions are:
• Newcomer
• Novice
• Intermediate
• Advanced
• All-Stars
• Champions
• Invitational (by invitation of event organizer)
Participation as a Leader or Follower is not gender-based. Dancers are free to choose the category in which they want to compete.
Points are tracked separately for Leaders and Followers, allowing you to compete in both roles at an event. But not in the same division.
