Question

Who can dance Pro/Student events?

 
Answer

Cross-Divisional Events

Cross-Divisional events allow competitors of different Divisions to compete in the same event. This means they compete under the rules of the Division to which they belong.

Pro/Am

This is where a registered Professional partners with a registered Amateur competitor.

  • This partnership follows the Professional Division rules.
  • In all Pro/Am events it is the couple the Adjudicators will assess.
  • The man/leader will wear the back number and the Skating System will be used.
  • This means that a Professional cannot have multiple partners in the same event.

Teacher/Student

A Teacher is any registered DanceSport Member who has an Accreditation. The Student is any registered Amateur or Recreational competitor.

  • In these events, Amateur Division rules will apply to all participants.
  • The Adjudicators will only assess the Student, therefore the Student must wear the back number.
  • If Competition Organisers allow Teachers to partner multiple Students in the same event, then the Development Scrutineering System will be used.

Teacher/Recreational

As above, a Teacher is any registered DanceSport Member who has an Accreditation. The Student must be registered in the Recreational Division.

  • Recreational Syllabus and Dress Rules apply to this Cross-Divisional event.
  • As with Teacher/Student, it is the Recreational competitor who will be assessed.
  • If Competition Organisers allow Teachers to partner multiple Students in the same event then the Development Scrutineering System will be used.

Pro/Student

This is where a registered Professional partners with a registered Amateur or Recreational competitor.

  • In these events, Amateur Division rules will apply to all participants.
  • The Adjudicators will only assess the Student, therefore the Student must wear the back number.
  • If Competition Organisers allow Teachers to partner multiple Students in the same event, then the Development Scrutineering System will be used.
