Competitors
Some competitions, mostly private promoter competitions, may include non registered sections. This is an opportunity for new students to get a taste of the competition life without having to register as an amateur competitor. Simply, there is no process whereby one has to register to enter into these sections. Most entry forms will inform you of any documentation required such as a copy of the students birth certificate or ID only to prove the students age. It is important to know that no registered competitive students receive no promotional points for these sections.
Students wishing to pursue a more ‘serious’ competitive career in dance should consider registering with the Freestyle Amateur Dance Registration to earn promotional points at respective SADTA and private promoter competitions.
Registering a student will require documentation such as a copy of the students birth certificate or ID for proof of age. Registered students will receive a status card/s, cloth number/s and SADTA competition rule book. Taking part in competitions and making finals will earn students points, the higher the placing, the higher the points earned. When a dancers reaches the required amount of points for any respective genre they are then promoted to a higher level in that particular genre.
