We’ve decided to make two changes to our Hip Hop categories for the 2019 Competition year. These are effective immediately.
These are in response to requests from schools and studios, and help to increase participation opportunities in our competition series.
An updated rules document is available which includes these changes
If you have any questions about these changes, please contact your local event organisers.
1. New 'Mini Crews' Category
We're offering Mini Crews:
- 2-4 dancers
- Routines length 1:15 - 1:30
The category offers the same divisions as small crew:
- Primary / Intermediate Same School
- Primary / Intermediate Dance School
- Secondary Same School
- Secondary Dance School
This new category is offered at all regional competitions, and will be offered at Nationals 2019 in Queenstown!
2. Year 9 dancers in Primary / Intermediate Dance School Small Crew
We're increasing the age limit for Primary / Intermediate Dance School crews so that they can have Year 9 dancers.
Note: The majority of the crew MUST be Year 4-8.
Example : If the crew has 5 dancer, 3 must be year 4-8.
This change does not apply to Primary / Intermediate Same School Small Crew
The aim of this change is to (partly) align the category to Hip Hop Unite Cadet, allowing more studios to participate in our events.
