3. COMPETITION LEVElS EXPLAINED
Evolution offers Novice and Open sections for solos.
-
Novice is designed for dancers who are newer to competing or building confidence.

Open is for more experienced or advanced performers.
(Eligibility rules apply and are explained in our Terms & Conditions.)
For some events, Championship sections may also be offered. These are optional additional sections designed to celebrate strong performances across specific styles.
