Who can dance Teacher/Recreational events?

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.
