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.
