The 2 Consecutive Levels Rule The 4 'styles' are: American Smooth, and International Standard, American Rhythm, and International Latin Any individual may only appear in up to 2 consecutive levels in each of the 4 styles. The level(s) you choose in one style do not limit your choices in a different style. The Progression of levels is: 1 Newcomer (1st 12 months of competing. Only Bronze steps allowed), 2 Bronze (Only Bronze Steps allowed), 3 Silver (Bronze and Silver Steps Allowed), 4 Gold (Any Syllabus Steps Allowed), 5 Novice - Choreographed Routines. Any Syllabus or otherwise 6 Pre-Champ - Choreographed Routines. Any Syllabus or otherwise 7 Champ - Choreographed Routines. Any Syllabus or otherwise NOTE: Some Dances are danced together as one event, these are indicated with two letters in parenthesis, such as Bronze Standard (WQ), which combines Waltz and Quickstep as one event. A note on American Style: In the American style, we like to follow the USADance rules, which are more concerned with proficiency level than with steps. http://www.usadance.org/dancesport/athlete-information/the-syllabus/ Syllabi can also be found: At the end of the USADance rulebook (Just scroll to the end, and go back from there): http://usadance.org/dancesport/forms-and-resources/rules-policies-and-bylaws/ Appendix 1 in the NDCA rulebook: http://ndca.org/rules-and-results/ndca-rule-book/#TOC1_7 Costume Policy For Purdue Comp we suggest using the same dress code as the Ohio Star Ball. http://www.usadance.org/forms-and-resources/0yaowpubix   We will not be enforcing dress code at our competition, but please do not dress in a manner which gives you an unfair advantage for your level.    We will do our best to give a costume change break between Gold and Novice, for those of you competing in both of those 2 consecutive levels.
