The 2 Consecutive Levels Rule

The 4 styles are:
American Smooth, and International Standard,
American Rhythm, and International Latin

You may only enter in up to 2 consecutive levels in each of the 4 styles.

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.

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.

Payment Information
