Upon arrival, register at our counter. A specific wristband depending on your pass will be given to you as well as a bib number you will need to wear to compete. Your dance level and role must be mentioned as each participant is automatically registered for each competition, in the division that best corresponds to their WCS skills. 

Competitors must then check in and line up at the staging area 15 minutes before your competition begins. It is recommended that you be in the ballroom at the start of each block of competition in case the Head Judge makes any changes to the running order.

We ask that you assess your skill level fairly, using the following as a guide. If you find material particularly challenging, but don’t want to leave the class, we suggest sitting on the side and observing the lesson, so as not to hold your fellow students back.
