YAGP 2011 Regional Semi-Finals Rules and Regulations

The competition is open to dance students of all nationalities 9-19 years old
A participant’s age for YAGP 2011 season is determined strictly as of January 1, 2011.
Participants may enter the competition as solo contestants, as part of an ensemble, or both.
Professional dancers are not permitted to compete. Professional dancer is defined by YAGP as anyone who is employed as a full-time dancer with a professional dance company on a yearly contract that engages the dancer at least 26 weeks per year. This also includes dancers who are not currently employed under such contract, but have been in the past.
To be eligible to participate in the NYC Finals, dancers must be selected from one of the YAGP semi-finals or by video preliminary (for details, please see NYC Finals Rules and Regulations for Video Preliminary).
Selection of variations for Semi-Finals and NYC Finals does not have to be the same.
YAGP reserves the right to use any photo or video recording of the participants’ performances during the competition for promotional purposes.
Entries will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, and registration will be closed when each location’s quota is reached or one month before each location, whichever comes first.
YAGP has the right to refuse any application at its discretion.
Due to limited space at the NYC Finals, participants selected at regional Semi-Finals have first priority over video audition applicants. YAGP reserves the right to close the Video Preliminary round when the quota is reached.

Scoring
* The scoring system consists of two aspects: artistic and technical, each evaluated on a 100-point system. The combined score from each individual judge is the average between technical and artistic marks. The total score is an average taken of all the scores issued by all judges for that particular performance.

Eligibility for selection to the NYC Finals
* To be selected for NYC Finals, solo participants must receive a total score of 95 or higher in their Classical Ballet variation. Please note that receiving a score of 95 or higher in the Contemporary Dance category does not automatically qualify a participant for selection to NYC Finals. Additional solo participants may be invited to NYC Finals, based on judges’ request.
* Ensembles that receive a total score of 95 or higher are eligible to participate in NYC Finals. Additional ensembles may be invited to NYC Finals, based on judges’ request.

Awards

The winners in the Classical Ballet and Contemporary Dance category will be announced separately.
The Grand Prix Award and Youth Grand Prix Award are presented to a dancer in the Senior age division and Junior division who, according to the YAGP jury panel, has exceeded all other dancers in their division in both Classical Ballet and Contemporary Dance categories.
Male and female participants in all age divisions will compete separately. If there are less than 6 male participants in any age division, male and female participants will not compete separately, and a separate Best Male Dancer Award may be presented at the discretion of the jury.
The jury of YAGP reserves the right not to present all of the announced awards.

Music

Music must be submitted in CD format. A separate CD for each entry must be submitted on the day of the competition with only one track recorded on it. The CD must be clearly labeled with participant’s name, school, and title of the piece (NOT the competitor’s performance number, as it may change at the time of registration). The CD should be in a case to minimize damage. The cue should not exceed 5 seconds from the beginning. A backup CD must be kept available at all times by each participant and/or their representative. Participants must notify the sound technician or YAGP backstage manager of any irregularities in the music (any pauses, sudden volume changes, etc.). To avoid technical difficulties, participants are advised to examine their CD’s for scratches, dust, or any visible damage, as well as to test all their CD’s in a regular CD player prior to the competition. All CDs should be submitted in a CD case. Do not mail the CD’s to YAGP offices prior to the competition. Securing the Music Rights is the sole responsibility of each participant.
