Before you can enter a Regional Final you are required to qualify at a Nominated Festival associated with that Final. You may qualify by entering the ordinary classes offered at a Nominated Festival and attaining at least 84 marks (or the equivalent category) in the dances you wish to enter. You must complete the entry form, get it countersigned by a Teacher Member of All England Dance and send it with your entry fees and a stamped addressed envelope to the appropriate Finals Director.
Additional entry forms are available to download here
STEP 1: CHOOSING A FINAL
The Finals are split up into regions for your convenience and are all to be treated as part of the same event. Each Nominated Festival is associated with a Regional Final.
STEP 2: ENTERING THE COMPETITION
Having obtained 84 marks or more, or the relevant category qualification for your dance at a Nominated Festival, ask your School Principal or Teacher to complete an entry form with their current All England Teacher Membership number and return the it to the appropriate Regional Director. Competitors in a Duet, Trio/Quartet, or Group must be entered on the same entry form and be accompanied by a single cheque.
Classes | Timing and Fees | Rules and Child Protection Policy
Please enclose a stamped and self-addressed envelope so that a timetable can be sent to you.
Entries arising from novice, county or other championship classes are not eligible.
Note:
It is not permitted to enter the same dance class in more than one Regional Final, even if different dances in that technique have been qualified. (see Rule 12). All entries with 84 marks will be accepted, so there is no need to wait for later results at another Festival, to better that mark before making your entry.
Closing date: 1st March 2009.
If your qualifying Festival has adopted a category marking system, announcements will be made in the Syllabus of that Festival to confirm the qualification category for the Finals.
Only dancers qualifying at a Festival nominated within the region may be entered in that region. Only in very exceptional circumstances will written requests to change region be accepted (include SAE for a reply), and these must be received by the closing date. (Injury, illness, examinations and holidays are not exceptional reasons).
STEP 3: NOTIFICATION
Await details of when you will be required to dance at the Regional Finals. This will be sent to you in the form of a timetable, in the reply paid envelope which you have supplied. It will also be published on the All England Dance website. Establish the days and times of your classes and arrive at least one hour before the section is due to commence.
STEP 4: AT THE REGIONAL FINALS
To be awarded a 1st Place with a gold medal you must have Honours. All Honours marks give automatic entry to the National Finals, whatever Place has been awarded. All qualifying finalists must make their entry (with their fees) at the Regional Final.
No late or postal entries will be accepted
