Where do I pin the Dance Numbers?
The numbers must be pinned with 4 safety pins to the back of your top. If you do not have a back to your top then they may go on the front. They must not be pinned to trousers or skirts as judges may not be able to see them!

I am competing in Lucky Dip, what do I do?
All Competitors taking part in the Lucky Dip need to be down on the main dance floor at 10.00am where you will be allocated a partner! The first heat will start at approx. 10.15am. Please be there on time, leaders with your numbers pinned with 4 pins on your back. Follows make sure you have your Lucky Dip Slip with your name filled out correctly. The leader will hand you a sticker with their competitor number on - stick this to your Lucky Dip Slip under "Partner's No". 

I am a Follow competing in Lucky Dip and I do not have a number?
Follows are not allocated Dance Numbers for the Lucky Dip. They receive a Lucky Dip slip to fill out (including leads competition number). The lead you are partnered with is your competition number for lucky dip - make sure to remember who your partner is and what their competition number is! You will need to keep an eye out for this competition number on the results board in the cafe area to know if you make it through the next round. 

I am on the Lucky Dip Waiting List what do I do?
We have a Lucky Dip Waiting list because there are invariably competitors who do not make it on time for the allocation of partners at 10.00am, and we need to have even numbers of Follows and Leaders in this competition category. The procedure for inclusion in the event from the Lucky Dip Waiting List is as follows:

The Waiting List consists of follows who have reserved their place online. Each dancer on the list is given a place number in the List. Follows will be brought into the competition in chronological booking order. All dancers on the Waiting List must be in the room and be ready to be called onto the floor at a moments notice. The compere will call the dancers by name in order should there be a need for additional follows. The follows will be given their Lucky Dip slips with their names in full as required. The leaders must have their dance number pinned to their backs. If you are called up from the waiting list you will be required to make payment for you place after the first round has completed. If you are not asked to join the competition then you are free to re-join the audience.

I want to enter the 'Over 50s' category but my partner is only 28! Is this OK?
Sorry, both partners have to be 50 years of age or over to be eligible for the ‘Over 50s' Category.

What is the classification of an Amateur for Pro-Am?
For the Welsh Champs we have classified the definition of an amateur as dancers who are NOT a dance professional as per the classification above, and NOT an Open level dancer. This means that a dancer who has entered any national modern jive competition in the last three years at Open level, will not be considered an Amateur at this Welsh Champs.
