All dancers entering the “Titles Division” will do so with the commitment of obligation, if they are to win the Regional Title, to represent their Region and compete at the National Championship for National Title. Every Title Contestant will prepay an additional fee of $50.00, on top of their Title entry fee. This $50.00 will be applied as a deposit to their National Title entry fee, with remainder of balance due at least 30 days prior to Nationals. (Please see pricing online) Regional Title winners will forfeit their deposit if they choose not to attend Nationals and represent their Region. All other Title contestants, the $50.00 deposit will be returned to the studio. 1st& 2nd runner-up are eligible to compete for National Title and may apply their deposit to their National fee if they choose to do so. All Title contestants must also be entered into the Performing Arts competition. In the PA division they must perform either a Solo (different from Title routine), Duo/Trio or Group. There is no “Interview” at Regionals. At Nationals, along with their performance, Title contestants will also have a private interview with the Judges, participate in classes, including workshop classes and all rehearsals for Opening Number (to be performed at the Gala). Additional information will be available to Title contestants.
