Extended Registration

  • Multiple Levels
    You are allowed to compete in two adjacent levels per style of dance. For example, if you are dancing in Bronze Level events for International Latin, you can also register for Silver Level events in International Latin if you are familiar with the Silver Syllabus.

    This adjacency rule applies separately all the way up to Open Level. Many competitors have traveled far to attend our competition and showcase their brilliant dancing, so enabling additional events for the dancers to compete in, is to provide more time for them to be in the spotlight and encourage them to make the most of our event.

    If events get too many or few registrants, they are subject to be combined or split the day of the event.

  • Multiple Partners
    If you are competing with more than one person, submit an online registration for the events of each partnership individually.
