USA Dance welcomes Bruno Tonioli, Dancing With The Stars Judge to Nationals as Honorary Judge for the USA Dance 2013 Star Quality Awards, to be awarded, Friday and Saturday evenings,
April 5 & 6.

(1) The United States is one of only 24 countries who have been invited to compete in the DanceSport Competition at the World Games in Cali, Columbia. The DanceSport events will consist of Latin & Standard championships, and for the first time a SALSA CHAMPIONSHIP! The World Games are conducted under IOC rules and will take place in Pascual Guerrero Stadium in Cali, Columbia July 25 through August 4, 2013. This means that for the first time at Nationals, in addition to the Standard and Latin couple chosen to represent the United States at the World Games, we will be choosing a Salsa couple to represent us at the Games. A couple does not need to qualify at an NQE or any other event to dance the Salsa Championship. However, in order to be sent to the World Games, both members of the couple must be USA citizens. (See Rules for Salsa Championship under the Need to Know tab.)
(2) Two (2) couples from the Standard & Latin Under-21 championships, and one (1) couple from the 10-Dance Under-21 Championship will be chosen to represent the Unite States at the Under-21 World Championships that will be taking place at the WDSF Under-21 World Championships. Since NQEs are not required to offer Under-21 events, in order to dance in an Under-21 event, the couple must qualify in the Championship events in either Youth or Adult and be the correct age. (See Rules for Under-21 events by clicking the Need to Know tab.)

SHOWDANCE: Please send a tape of your Showdance routine to Ken Richards and Ave Kaye Brennan for review and read the rules for the Showdance under the ‘Stuff You Should Read’ (link)
