Rules For The

World Dance Championship

Only routines that receive a Star Dance Alliance Golden Ticket Invitation or studios who have a routine that placed 1st Overall High Score at (2) Star Dance Alliance Regional Competitions for the same routine are invited to compete at the World Dance Championship.

If space allows, routines may also qualify at a Star Dance Alliance National Championship. These routines must register immediately.

Registration will be accepted on a first-come, first served basis. Spots are limited in each division. Once a division is full, no more entries will be accepted for that division. Registration opens on June 3, 2024 at 12:00am (EST). SPOTS ARE LIMITED… BE SURE TO REGISTER EARLY!

Payment must be made in FULL in order for registration to be processed.

Fees must be paid by credit card or electronic check through the registration system. No Star Dollars may be redeemed for WDC registration. No cash refunds will be given.

In the event that a dancer is unable to participate, the routine may still compete with a dancer substitution. Substitutions must be on the studio’s original roster. The routine will be re-calculated based on the performers in attendance.

Any routine that receives a Golden Ticket for the same routine that competed and qualified in (2) different levels must compete at the highest level (Ex. if a routine qualified in Level 2 and Level 3, it must compete Level 3)

A qualifying routine may NOT be replaced by another routine (that did not qualify) from the same studio.

Studios must be prepared to provide proof of age for all performers in the event that an age protest is made (birth certificate or drivers license is acceptable). Failure to do so may result in disqualification.

Studios who have more than the allotted number of routines that qualify for the same division must choose which routines to compete.
Only the highest scoring routine from a studio in each division is eligible for the 'Top 10' & 'Final Five'.
