Please download one form for each work submitted and enclose with your videotape. Please make sure that the number of each dance (#1, #2 or #3) corresponds with the order of the dances on the videotape/DVD.

This is the form that each adjudicator uses when viewing each dance work. We hope that providing you with this form will assist you in understanding the elements on which the works are judged.
