Procedure

• On arrival, the responsible accompanying person and the child/children will register at the registration desk.

• Before the competition, the children will gather in the staging area. From there, depending on the number of registrations, they will be led in one or more groups to the dance floor.

• There they will dance the dances they have learned individually with other participants on the dance floor.

• The music is counted.

• As a guide, they are accompanied by 2 dancers from our club.

• Our trained judges evaluate the performance, but the fun should be in the foreground.  

• After one dance they leave the dance floor again accompanied and wait in the staging area for the next performance (if they dance several dances).

• The award ceremony will take place about half an hour after the last competition round.

​

Dances

In the KidsChallenge, the competition is not divided into age categories. Instead, 3 challenges with different dances and levels are offered. The children decide (with the help of an adult if necessary) which dance(s) they like best and are good at and therefore which challenge they want to take part in (participation is only possible in one challenge).  Once they have made a decision, the children are registered for the corresponding challenge.
