This year we are offering Adult Latin, Senior 2 Latin, Senior 2 Standard, Senior 3 Standard and Senior 4 Standard WDSF Open events.

These events have an additional cost of $80 per couple per event to offset the sanctioning fees associated with hosting these events. Because of this, these events do not count towards your number of dances. To register click the link above.

 A  competitor's age is determined as of December 31 of the year of the competition. Certain  amateur events are open to all ages. For those events that are not, the  age groups are:

• Teddy Bear (unofficial): 7 years and below
• Pre-Teen I: 8-9 years old
• Pre-Teen II: 10-11 years old
• Junior I: 12-13 years old
• Junior II: 14-15 years old
• Youth: 16-18 years old
• Under 21: 16-20 years old
• Adult: 19 or older
• Senior I: One partner 35 or older, the other 30 or older
• Senior II: One partner 45 or older, the other 40 or older
• Senior III: One partner 55 or older, the other 50 or older
• Senior IV: One partner 65 or older, the other 60 or older
• Senior V: Both partners 70 or older
• Senior VI (unofficial): Both partners 75 or older

Senior dancers are welcome to  compete in any age divisions they are eligible for based on their ages.  Teddy Bear, Pre-Teen, Junior, and Youth dancers may dance in the  youngest age division for which both partners are eligible, plus the next age division older, plus Under 21 (if eligible). 

Would you like to dance, but don't have a partner? Register for your events TBA with your partner listed as TBA, and we will have opportunities at the competition to match up with partners. Typically, these opportunities will be the evening before your events.

Competitors cancelling within 48 hours of payment will receive a full refund. All other requests will be handled on a case by case basis.

ALL CLOSED SYLLABUS EVENTS WILL BE INVIGILATED USING THE CURRENT USA DANCE  SYLLABUS LIST OF ELEMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS. PENALTIES MAY BE GIVEN  WITHOUT WARNING FOR ANY SYLLABUS INFRACTIONS
