The solo performance must be 1 and a half to 2 minutes in length and must be fully costumed with theatrical stage make-up. There will be 24 candidates per section but in the event of a tie, the committee will grant an extra place.
There will be 2 adjudicators for the finals, both of whom are professionals in the dancing world! Once again they will each mark out of 50 and their scores will be averaged. The candidates mark from the heat and from the solo performance will be combined for an overall final score.
