\n

Prerequisites<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To perform a solo, dancers must be enrolled in a weekly technique class for that discipline (except Hip Hop and Contemporary). Weekly technique classes are strongly encouraged, as they help dancers develop the skills needed for a successful performance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

No. of solos permitted<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dancers may perform up to the same number of solos as their years of participation in the troupe. Any exceptions must be requested in writing and are subject to approval by Miss Shauna.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

As we know dancers are preparing for the upcoming season, we would like you to be aware and consider the following guidelines for competition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

NEW<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Level 1 dancers<\/strong> wishing to compete a solo must participate<\/strong> in the exam program for that discipline<\/strong>. For example, Tap solos require Tap exams, and Classical Ballet solos require Ballet exams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dancers must continue with exams until they have successfully completed a minimum of Grade 3<\/strong> in the discipline they are competing. Contemporary and Hip Hop are the only exceptions to this policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

S2S Approved Choreographers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To ensure our dancers are well prepared for their performances, all solo choreography must be created by a S2S approved choreographer. If you are unsure whether a choreographer is an approved fit for your dancer, please contact us before making arrangements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

No Duplicates<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dancers cannot enter more than one entry in any discipline\/category.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Musical Interpretation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Musical Interpretation is a great way for the dancers to get feedback from the adjudicators before they perform their solos. Dancers performing more than 4 solos are encouraged to enter Ballet Musical Interpretation. Dancers performing more than 6 solos are encouraged to enter both Ballet and Jazz Musical Interpretation. This policy applies to PRNF only.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
