USA DANCE RULES & REGULATIONS

Remember - For the 2012 Nationals you need to have competed in the same partnership and in the same event (style/age/proficiency level), and NEW FOR 2012, have reached the 75% proficiency level in the event at an NQE that you, the Athlete Couple, intends to enter in the USA Dance National DanceSport Championships.

Since many of the NQEs do not have 9-Dance or 10-Dance events, even if an NQE offers one or both of these events, they will NOT qualify you to compete in the 9-Dance/10-Dance championship events at Nationals. In order to qualify to dance in either of these events at Nationals, competitors must qualify in both styles (Standard/Latin or Smooth/Rhythm) in at least Pre-Championship at an NQE. In order to qualify for 9-Dance/10-Dance Championship events at Nationals you will have to have qualified by dancing in either Pre-Championship or Championship Smooth/Rhythm or Standard/Latin in an NQE.

Competitors are required to understand and follow the rules put forth by the USA DanceSport Council.
