New Team Classifications

In an effort to promote male dancers in public schools and maintain fairness in competition,
the following 4 team classifications have been established:

  1. Public High School All Male
  2. Public Jr. High/Middle School All Male
  3. Public High School COED
  4. Public Jr. High/Middle School COED

COED will only apply to public schools that contain 25% or more male performers who are school certified
full-time members of the dance team. All other public school teams containing less than 25% male certified
members should register as a regular jr. high school/middle school or (by team size) as a small, medium, large, or super team for high school. COED and ALL MALE public junior high/middle school and high school teams will not be subject to team size guidelines.

New Categories of Dance

In addition to Jazz, Prop, High Kick, Military, Novelty, Lyrical, Modern, Pom, Hip Hop and Show Production, two (2)
more categories have been added for competition: Open Routines and Specialty Routines. Since COED has become a team classification, no longer will COED be a dance category.

To enter the Open Dance Category, a routine must meet the following conditions: (1) it includes only full-time
certified team members and (2) it is either a tap, ballet, light, or multi-cultural routine, or it incorporates at
least two or more distinct styles of dance (such as half jazz, half high kick, or 1/3 prop, 1/3 military, and 1/3
high kick). Open Routines may be counted toward Sweepstakes Awards for Regional Competitions and toward the Jacket Competition at Nationals.

To enter the Specialty Routine Category, a routine must include performers that are not full-time certified
members of the team such as dads, moms, males from a dance class or the school at large. First, Second, and
Third place Trophies will be presented for Specialty Routines at all of our contests. Specialty Routines may not
be counted toward Sweepstakes Awards at Regional Competitions or toward the Jacket Competition at Nationals. If you have any questions, please contact the MA Office by telephone at 800-977-7933.

Team Size and Performance Rule
Varsity Public High School Dance Teams are classified as Small, Medium, Large, and Super according to the actual number of members on their team, and not by the number of members competing. Varsity Public HS teams must perform a minimum of 70% of their actual membership on all team routine events. The Penalty will be a 5 point total deduction for each performance not adhering to this rule.

Props and Backdrops Usage
Curtains, staging, and other props for routines should be constructed to fit through a 7 foot tall double door found in most hs gymnasiums. Props and staging may be assembled on the floor but setup & breakdown
time will be added to the actual routine performance time length to produce total floor time. Total floor time should not exceed 5 minutes for all dance categories except: Prop (6 Minutes) And Show Production (12 Minutes).

Including set up/entrances/breakdown/exits, teams have a total of 5 minutes of floor time per routine in Jazz, Hip Hop, Military, High Kick, Pom, Lyrical, Modern, Novelty, Specialty, and Open. Prop routines will be given 6 total minutes and Show Production will be allotted 12 total minutes. Entrances and exits are not judged. You may petition for additional time if needed, but only in ONE category per team! A one point penalty per judge per minute will be assessed for exceeding routine time limits.

Late Entry Penalties
Entries received after the registration deadline (14 days prior to contest) will be charged a late fee of $25 for each team, officer, ensemble, & solo routine entered.
