CONVENTION CLASSES & SCHOLARSHIP AUDITIONS

Convention Classes
Convention classes are taught by CTC judges and faculty in a variety of subjects. Wristbands for admittance to complimentary classes will be handed out the first day of convention classes to each registered competition student. Students must check in by 10:00am on day two to receive a wristband and participate in any classes. All students listed on the Master Contestant List will receive a wristband. Age for convention classes will be determined by student’s actual birthdate. Classes will be divided into two age divisions, Junior (12 & Under) and Senior (13 & Over). Depending on the number of participants, additional classrooms/age divisions may be added. Students may choose to take classes in the next level/age division, however, once a higher level has been chosen the student must remain in that class. Students must also audition for scholarships in the higher level class. No student will be allowed to dance in a lower age division.

Each student must check in individually at the registration table to receive their wristband. Students will not be admitted into convention ballrooms without a wristband and must wear wristbands at all times during convention classes. Wristbands are non-transferable and should not be removed until convention classes have concluded. Students should bring proper dance attire and footwear for class. Registered teachers and studio owners will also receive wristbands and are welcome in convention classes at any time. Parents and family members may purchase a wristband for $10.00, good for admittance as an observer to all convention classes (both days). At no time will photo or video cameras be allowed in convention ballrooms.

Scholarship Auditions
Scholarship Auditions will be held on day two of convention classes. Students will audition in groups using a combination taught during convention classes. The judges will narrow down the larger groups into final contestants and choose the audition winners. Solo scholarships will be awarded in each age class/level. Parents are welcome to watch scholarship auditions, however, anyone observing must remain in the classroom the entire time. No one will be allowed into the audition room once the process begins.
