GENERAL INFORMATION
Competition Protocol
The backstage entrance will be open 1 hour before the start of each
session. This area is for performers and studio representatives ONLY. Friends
and family are asked to wait in the lobby before each session. Theatre
doors will open approximately a quarter of an hour before the start of
each session.
ADJUDICATION ONLY: Entries in categories marked with Adjudication
will only receive a button award and critique during the following
adjudication. They are not eligible for 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place in their
category.
Only
DANCING AHEAD: Entries marked with Dancing Ahead will not receive an
award during the following adjudication. Since they are competing
outside and ahead of their scheduled category, they will still be in the
running for 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place awards and will be awarded once their
scheduled category has taken place.
DANCED PREVIOUSLY: Entries marked with danced previously are shown as
placeholders in their category and signify that they are still competing
against others in their category but were scheduled to perform ahead of
time due to extreme prior commitments.
Any questions or concerns may be addressed to either Geneen, Sonia or
the Rules and Regulations table located inside the theatre.
A reminder that photography or recording of any kind will not be
permitted inside the theatre doors and could result in disqualification of
that performer.
Please see our Rules & Regulations, posted on our website, for complete
information.
AWARDS PROCESS &
ADJUDICATION
Awards - How they work
CoreDance is committed to creating an environment in which
accomplishments are recognized, while fostering a sense of healthy
competition. As part of this commitment, we reward participants through
a two-tiered awards system.
• Each dance is individually scored and awarded with a bronze, silver,
gold or platinum standing based on the score level.
• In addition, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd highest-scoring dances in each
category are recognized with a medal (solos) or trophy (groups).
• We will also be awarding one “Adjudicators Choice” award per
session—giving the adjudicators an opportunity to recognize unique
talents and performances outside of the marking system.
We are proud of all of our dancers, and encourage everyone to let their
own, one-of-a-kind light shine on our stage!

Culturally Defined
CoreDance will post the day’s Top 10 Highest Scored solos and groups in
the lobby at the end of each day. These results do not guarantee a spot
in the gala, but placing in the Top 10 of a day is an achievement in itself
and we want to recognize those who make it! Dances that have qualified
for a Top 10 high score position overall will be posted on our Facebook
Page:https://www.facebook.com/coredanceproductions and in the Kay
Meek lobby by 12pm on May 2nd. The final Top 10 list will be performing in
the Gala that night and must be present in order to receive their cash prizes
and CoreDance plaque. If an entry is unable to perform, the award will be
passed on to the next deserving dance.
Dance Down South
The Triple Threat award winner goes to a soloist who has competed in three
or more categories and has the highest combined score. They will perform
only their highest scoring routine in the Gala.

Scholarships, prizes and money will be awarded to the deserving young
dancers who have been selected by our adjudicators during the Awards
Ceremony portions of the gala. Any dancer who has participated in the
competition can receive an award and does not necessarily need to be
among the performers in the gala. However, attendance at the gala is
required in order to receive it. If for some reason you are unable to attend the
gala, make sure you have a friend or family member present to accept the
award(s) on your behalf.
