New Vogue - Hold Restrictions

New Vogue performance restrictions, most commonly known as 'hold restrictions' apply to the following competitors…

• All Juvenile events


• Junior events except for Junior Open Couples events


• All Recreational Division events


• C Grade Amateur Division events

All other competitors are permitted a reasonable relaxation of hold for the purposes of style and expression. The technique (i.e. alignment, timing, positions of feet, amount of turn etc.) must be maintained in all instances.

Reasonable relaxation allows for a release or relocation of the hand contact whilst retaining the general line or shape of categorised hold. It does NOT extend to the adoption of a different hold or the use of ‘NO HOLD’ where a hold is described as part of the technique in the publications accepted as reference manuals by DSA
