OVERALL AGE CATEGORIES
The age division is calculated by adding all the dancers ages and dividing them by the number of dancers, then dropping the decimal. It is enforced that all ages are determined by December 31st, 2023. To allow for fair competition, all dancers will only directly be competing with another group/individual of a reasonable age difference in the adjudication portion of the competition. In a group of 2 or more competitors within their category, there will be a ranking of places at adjudication.
