REGISTRATION
Registration for SOLENT NOVICE DANCE FESTIVAL will be opening on Saturday 22 June..
​
Solent Novice Dance Festival - 19 & 20 October 2024, Trafalgar School, Portsmouth
​
Due to our ever growing popularity we want to create a clear pathway for dancers to grow and gain experience through our festivals. We are now clearly splitting our Novice and Open festivals so that dancers new to competing can develop their talent before moving on and competing in a more advanced environment.
​
As per the standard rules, dancers must have a score of 83 or below to be considered Novice. We are now introducing the rule that in order to progress to the Open festival dancers MUST have scored 84 or above in the section they are competing in. If we have space available we MAY look to open to Novice dancers but this will be at the festival discretion.
​
We are happy to accept entries from both dance schools and independent dancers, although we do request a Teacher Authorisation Form if you are entering as an individual.
​
Consent forms no longer need to be submitted as they are now part of the main entry form.
​
Please note - we will be introducing a new platform 'Play and Perform' and all entries and music uploads MUST be submitted via this. You will need to create a profile on your first visit in order to enter the festival. Please head to the website below and ensure you read the step by step guides to help you through the process.
​
Closing date for entries and payment is Sunday 22 September, subject to availability. We will accept music uploads until the 30th. Any entries received after this date will not be considered. If the festival sells out prior to this date, payment and music will still be accepted up until close of business on the stated due date.
