The Global Dance Award™ is open to dancers aged 15 years and over, who are of non professional status (those who earn less than 50% of their income through dance related employment), registered as senior dancers at 2011 Global Dance Convention.

The award is designed to give one young Australian dancer the opportunity to travel and learn from the best teachers and choreographers the industry has to offer.

The Global Dance Award™ recipient will receive ONE return Economy airfare to Los Angeles, a 40-class pass to Edge Performing Arts Center, Hollywood and $1500 cash. One runner up will receive $1000 cash.

Heats will take place in Sydney during GDC - Global Dance Convention, with the Grand Final taking place on the final day of the convention.

Solos are to be rehearsed prior to the convention; there is no time reserved for rehearsals during the convention. Costumes are not required however tidy attire is recommended.

All entries will be viewed for judging by our panel of five US choreographers prior to the commencement of the Global Dance Convention, with finalists being selected on day one of the convention in a Mock Audition environment.

Entrants will be judged on many areas of their performance including technique and execution, presentation of performance, appearance and potential of the performer.

Finally, OffBeat Productions PTY LTD reserve the right of refusal and the judges' decision is final. There will be no forum for a protest.
