Dancing

The provisional dates for this section are 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 15th, 16th and 17th March.

Please check your programme for confirmation.

We are delighted to announce that the Hastings Musical Festival is now a qualifying festival for All England Dance. Our 2010 festival will be a qualifying festival. This means that the time limits of some classes have changed and we have introduced some new classes and withdrawn others.

Please check this syllabus carefully to avoid any errors in your entry form.

Ballet: No pointe work is permitted for competitors under 13 years.

Character: May be danced in any manner the subject demands.

National: Must be authentic and belong to a recognised country.

Greek: Greek or natural movement.

Medals In Medal classes, the ballet and character items must be those danced in the qualifying classes.

Age Limits Groups classes 1258, 1262, 1266 - up to 2 competitors aged below 13 years may dance in these classes. These additional competitors will be excluded from dancing in classes 1242, 1246, 1250, and 1254.

Props: No furniture or properties are allowed, except those that can be carried and quickly set in place by performers or helpers. Construction of scenery or props on the side of the stage is prohibited. No real flowers or leaves will be allowed or confetti, or talcum powder or similar, unless by prior agreement with the Dancing Section Secretary. Disregard for this rule may result in the disqualification of the item.

Timing Entries in all classes which exceed the time limit will be penalised.

Classical Classes In group dancing, Tap and Modern are not acceptable.

Re-dance No re-dance is allowed at 10 years or over. At under 10 years, when a re-dance is requested, this will be allowed only at the discretion of the adjudicator.

Singing No singing is allowed except in Song and Dance and Cabaret classes.

Miming Miming to words is allowed but no lip synchronisation.

Performers Performers of ten years and over may enter both Lyrical and Modern classes.

Changes If a performer must change classes, 48 hours notice must be given to the Dancing Secretary in writing.

Chaperones All chaperones must be over 18 years of age and must wear their badges at all times. Failure to wear a badge may result in the chaperone not being allowed back stage.

Suitability For Own Choice pieces, suitability must be considered with regard to age group. "Adult" or offensive material is not acceptable and adjudicators will take this into account when marking. They also have authority to stop any performance at their discretion. This would lead to automatic disqualification.

Regulations Please read the general regulation No 17 very carefully if you are entering the Song and Dance classes.

You must complete the name of your dancing school in the place indicated on your Entry Form. No entry will be accepted without this information.

The Phyllis Godfrey Championship & Gold Medal

Class 1158 qualifications for entry.

To enter this class, performers will have qualified by being placed first, second or third in either ballet or character classes 1110, 1111, 1120 or 1121 and by achieving a minimum mark of 85 in both classes. If nominated, please report to the General Secretary immediately at the Festival office to pay the entry fee shown in the Syllabus. Eligible entrants will not be allowed to dance if the fee is not paid.

Please note that the qualifying dances must be repeated in the The Phyllis Godfrey Championship class 1158. It follows therefore, that the compulsory steps must be included in the qualifying dance to be eligible to dance in the The Phyllis Godfrey Championship class.

To be eligible to dance in the Phyllis Godfrey Championship class the following steps are compulsory in ballet only. For girls: pirouettes on pointe, a percentage of batterie and sustained releve on one leg. For boys: double tour en l’air, batterie and pirouettes. Only ballet must be on pointe. Character can be either on pointe or demi-pointe. Both dances must be completed. Performers must repeat the ballet and character items as danced in the qualifying classes 1110, 1111, 1120 and 1121 and must have included the compulsory steps in the ballet.

A mark of 85 or above is required for the award of the trophy. If the adjudicator considers that the winning performance is sufficiently exceptional to be awarded a mark of 90, then a Gold Medal will also be awarded.

Singing

Please read these rules carefully - they may change from year to year. Any variation from

these rules may result in disqualification. Also see the General Regulations.

Credit will be given for choice of repertoire, presentation, dress and deportment. No Jeans or Trainers please.
No Costume allowed unless otherwise stated. Props are not allowed (note: a chair is not regarded as a prop).
Singers are expected to memorise their songs including Bach and Oratorio. Copies may only be used in Class 2284 (Veterans age 70 and over).
Set songs must be sung in the edition shown in the Syllabus.
No set song for a junior class to be used as an own choice piece in a junior class. No set song for a senior class to be used as an own choice piece in a senior class.
For "Own Choice" pieces, suitability must be considered with regard to age group. "Adult" or offensive material is not acceptable and the Adjudicators will be advised to take this into account when marking. They will also have authority to stop any performance at their discretion which would lead to disqualification.
In Junior singing classes age under 18, set pieces or own choices may be sung in any key, and transpositions are allowed.
All singing classes to be accompanied by the piano unless otherwise stated. Please refer to the regulations regarding accompanists.
A winner of a Bronze Medal may enter for the Silver Medal in subsequent years, even if under 15 years old.

SOLO SINGING SELECTIONS

It is becoming increasingly difficult to buy songs as single copies, and for that reason it may be

necessary to buy a collection or cycle for the sake of one set song.We appreciate that this will be

more expensive but trust that these anthologies will be a valuable addition to a singer’s library.

All singing set pieces are available from:

Brittens Music, Grove Hill Road, Tunbridge Wells

Telephone: 01892 526659

Email: sales@brittensmusic.co.uk

The provisional dates for Singing Classes are: 3rd (Popular Music Vocal classes); 4th (Junior

singing and John Lockey heats); 5th (Choirs, Brownies and Guides); 10th, 11th and 12th (Show

Song Classes, Intermediate classes); 18th and 19th (Senior Singing). The timetable is kept

flexible to adapt to the number of entries received. Where possible, planned dates for specific

classes are given in the Syllabus and shown in the margins but these may have to be

changed.

Final timetable of classes will be available on the Festival website in January 2010.
