RULES AND REGULATIONS

Eligibility Requirement: No lady will be allowed to compete in a Solo Lady event if she is registered with a partner in an event of the same style at the competition (this is dance specific: for example, a lady dancing with a partner in Syllabus Latin Samba should NOT enter into any Solo Lady Latin Samba event. However, if that same lady wishes to dance Solo Lady Latin Rumba, that will be allowed.) All other eligibility requirements as defined in the UBEA Rules & Regulations will apply (i.e. age/grade, etc.).
These events are restricted to the ISTD (AIDA) Bronze, Silver, and Gold Syllabus only. Students who dance material outside the ISTD (AIDA) syllabus will be penalized in accordance with the UBEA Rules & Regulations.
- NOTE: Dancers are required to follow the charted foot patterns (including any variations allowed) in the ISTD (AIDA) Syllabus; however, in the Latin style, dancers may perform their own interpretations of arm styling.
As stated in the UBEA Rules & Regulations: INFRINGEMENTS OF THE RULES WILL BE GIVEN A WARNING AND ASKED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. IF THE INFRINGEMENT IS NOT RESOLVED BY THE NEXT ROUND, ORGANIZERS RESERVE THE RIGHT TO DISQUALIFY A COMPETITOR.
