Entry Information

Entrants perform two contrasting items - a classical ballet solo, and a contemporary, lyrical or demi-character solo.

Time limit up to 3 minutes per solo.

All entrants will perform their classical ballet solo first. Once all classical ballet solos are completed, entrants will return for their contemporary item, performing in the same order.

This will allow for costume changes between items.
