All solos competing for Title Awards must be prequalified- either from a Regional Competition or the Preliminary Qualifying Round.
Each Title soloist may enter only ONE solo for National Title consideration. Regional Title winners do not have to perform their winning Regional solo.
All title dancers will also be evaluated in at least 2 mandatory classes- choice of ballet, jazz, and tap. Dancers may participate in all three classes- the top 2 scores will be counted. Class evaluations will consist of 35% of the overall composite title score.
Special Scholarship recognitions will be awarded to the top dancer in each of the 3 Title Classes. The award will consist to a NYC Dance Alliance Regional Convention Scholarship.
The Title Fee is $125 per dancer (which includes the solo fee and the mandatory adjudication classes).
All title entrants will be required to step center stage, introduce themselves, hometown, age, and dance performance piece (prior to performance). Title entries will also participate in a brief onstage interview with the judges.
Title entries will receive a separate 'Title Presentation/Interview' score in addition to their adjudication score.
