On my studio team, my dancers
range from 5 years old to 15
years old. Do you have divisions
for this? |

ages are averaged to determine

Every studio competition we go
to allows at least 3 minutes for
a team routine. If I come to an

number? |

divisions have separate rules
from all star, school and
recreation. We have allotted
them a 3 minute 30 second time
limit for teams. Click

What is category scoring?
|
| |
|
In 1995,
COA was the first company to
develop and implement Category
Scoring at its championships.
The now-popular system, allows
judges to focus entirely on one
aspect of a routine (such as
technical skills), versus the
entire routine, is what
makes our score system so
accurate. Click

to view the score sheets.
