Open Competitions, all NADB-classes and ages, with international Jury
The Open Competitions
What we love about the Halloween holiday is that it is incredibly inclusive. Everyone is welcome! Super heros, magical creatures, vampires, witches and wizards, you name it. That is why we have chosen as a sub-theme of the event "Unite"! How great would it be to see dancers from all federations and from all levels and ages together on the floor? To make this possible we offer three Open Competitions! Those are open for everyone who feels like dancing:
1. Open Students/Debutants:A special competition for current or former students and beginners. You do not need to be member of a students dance association. Experienced dancers are welcome too but if you compete in B-class or higher, you cannot participate with your own partner. Other than that, there are no limitations! You can dance with whoever you like. All combinations are welcome. The Students/Debutants competition will be adjudicated by active or former dancers and trainers, who are active in the students' dance world. You may also support your team or students association with songs, dances, billboards, etc. For the clothes, there is only one rule: Halloween themed. You could win an extra prize for your outfit.
2. Open Adults Standard and Latin: This competition is meant for all dancers. Everybody is welcome. You do not need to be a member of the NADB or any other bond. Members of any federation are accepted: NADB, NDO, NVAD, Dutch-all, WDC, WDO.... All the letters of the alphabet are welcome! We have an international panel of adjudicators from different federations. The winners will get medals, a cup, Halloween basket and other surprises and also a copy of the new book of Maximillian Winkelhuis, The Charismatic Dancer. The Charismatic Dancer. Let op: deze wedstrijd is geen rankingwedstrijd.
3. Open Professionals Standard and LatinThis competition is open to professional dancers from any federation. The winners will get special prizes!
