COMPETITION DETAIL

I wouldn't mind there not being an intermediate division if they didn't let one person place with multiple solos in the top 10. Everyone pays to compete and it's extremely difficult to even place. The same 2 or 3 people take up the whole top 10 overall. You're forcing intermediate dancers to dance against advanced kids and then the advanced dancers are allowed to take all the top spots with 3+ solos.

All over the place. From one overall awards ceremony to the next they can't remember which awards they already gave out and they re-do overall placements from the prior day. Only two talent divisions which would be fine if you didn't have kids doing 3-5 solos where they allow all of one dancer's solos to place in the overall. So in a top 10 you have the same two kids taking up 5-9 spots. Most competitions only allow one solo to place per dancer, which seems appropriate when you're blending intermediate and advanced dancers in one division.

I enjoy the competition and how it's more challenging with lower adjudication scores and only two levels. Director is very polite and helpful. It was tough with COVID and all around awards at the end of a weekend. Lots of mistakes. Dancers who won Gold placed in top 10 where some who won high gold in the same division didn't place/placed behind them.
