Your preparation checklist
Check whether a fee is per dancer or per event before calculating the total. For ProAm or AmTeacher entries, agree the age and level combination with your teacher and review the minimum event count. Keep enough flexibility between entries to manage any consecutive dances without relying on a costume-change break.
Check the shoes you already train in before deciding whether anything needs replacing. Use our fit and sizing guide and shoe-care and heel-protector guide. Trial changes during practice, with enough time to resolve fit issues before competing.
