| Q: |
I sent in a check and it hasn't cleared yet. Am I
registered? |
| A: |
You should be. You can email the
to verify. We usually don't
deposit the checks until after the event, but if you included your email
address on your entry form then you should have been sent a confirmation note
when your entry was processed. |
| |
|
| Q: |
Can I register for events at the competition? |
| A: |
We will accept new entries so long as they do not change the
number of heats or rounds. New walk-in couples will need to pay a $50 fee for their late entries. Couples who are already registered in
the competition who are just changing their existing entries will not be
charged this late fee. The late fee may be paid by cash or check only. |
| |
|
| Q: |
What time are my events? |
| A: |
We will post a detailed schedule when the heats and rounds
have been set, about a week before the competition. Please be ready
to dance up to half an hour before the published time, as we often run
ahead of schedule. |
| |
|
| Q: |
What time do the doors open? |
| A: |
The doors will open one hour before the first event on Saturday morning, and
the building will remain open until the end of the evening session.
The ballroom will remain open during the break between the daytime and
evening sessions. |

|
| Q: |
I ordered tickets in advance, where do I pick them up? Or, were they mailed to me? |

| Q: |
If I'm dancing in a Junior Novice, Pre-Championship, or Championship event, may I wear a costume? |
| A: |
Yes. Since our Junior Novice, Pre-Championship, and Championship events are for Junior I & II
combined, the costume rules for the Junior II age group apply. |
| |
|
| Q: |
What about costumes for Pre-Teens? |
| A: |
Pre-teens are not allowed to wear costumes in any Pre-Teen
level event. If a Pre-Teen couple dances up into one of our Junior events, however, they
may wear a costume that conforms to the Junior II rules. Please see
the Section 3.10 of the USA Dance 2008-2009 DanceSport Rulebook for details on what is allowable
in Pre-Teen events. |
| |
|
| Q: |
The dress code rules say that Seniors can wear costumes in Syllabus
events. Is that okay at this competition? |
| A: |
No. Seniors may wear costumes in Senior-level Syllabus
events. The Syllabus events at this competition are actually Adult-level
events, where costumes are not allowed. |
| |
|
| Q: |
Is this a costume? |
| A: |
USA Dance has a very specific dress code for dancers,
including Syllabus dancers who aren't allowed to wear costumes, and open-level
dancers who can. Please don't think that you don't need to look up
the requirements before you compete!
For instance, men in Syllabus events may only wear black or white ties, and ladies cannot have anything sparkly in their hair. These are just examples of the rules, please review Section 3.10 of the USA Dance 2008-2009 DanceSport Rulebook for details on what is acceptable. Please adhere to the constume guidelines to avoid the disappointment of disqualification at the event. |
| |
|
| Q: |
Where can I find the dress code rules? |
| A: |
They are available on the National USA Dance web site. |
| |
|
| Q: |
Will Mixed Proficiency events be offered at this
competition? |
| A: |
We have no plans to offer Mixed Proficiency events.
If you are interested in Mixed Proficiency, please let us know so we can offer
it next year if enough people want it. |
| |
|
| Q: |
Is this competition a qualifier for the USA Dance National
DanceSport Championships? |
| A: |
The California State DanceSport Classic is NOT a qualifying event for the USA Dance National DanceSport
Championships. |
