Dance development specialist at the JCDC, Patrick Earle, said that late entries will be accepted at the auditions in January 2019.

He said that entry forms must be filled out with the areas and the class levels of the groups or individuals and that it is very important for teachers to place contestants in the right class for the sake of equity.

Earle explained that Class One is for participants six years and under; Class Two, nine years and under; Class Three, 12 years and under; Class Four, 15 years and under; Class five, 19 years and under; and Class Six, 20 years and over. He said that Class Seven is a combination of any classes.
