Welcome to the 2024 Hastings Musical Festival Dance Section!

Welcome to the Syllabus for the 2024 Hastings Musical Festival Dance Section! The proposed dates are Sunday 3th March to Thursday 14th March 2024. This is an All England Qualifying Festival this year. 

Please note that the ages for duet, trio, quartet and group classes have been reinstated to 10 and under, 14 and under and 21 and under, as agreed with All England Dance.

National dance is now called Global. Song and Dance is now Musical Theatre and Character is now Narrative/Character.
This year we will continue using our original marking scheme.

Duets- dancers can only dance once per class.
Trio/quartets- dancers can only dance once in each class.
Groups- 3 groups per dance school per class and the same dancers can only be in a maximum of 2 dances.

In the Gold Medal class you do not have to qualify. If the winner achieves a mark of 87, then the Phyllis Godfrey trophy is presented and a prize of £150, the Gold medal will only be awarded if the dancer achieves an aggregate of 90 for both dances combined.
The entry qualifications for entry to the Bronze medal you have to be aged 9,10 and 11yrs and will have to qualify by obtaining a mark of 83 in both ballet and character. For the Silver medal you are aged 12,13 and 14 yrs and will have to qualify with a mark of 85 in both ballet and character.

After looking at the Dance Syllabus please go to the Combined Syllabus where you will find the General Rules, which are applicable to all sections.

This year we will be asking all entrants to upload music and any title and synopsis for your character dances on to playandperform. These can be added on the home page of the entry system. From there you can upload a music and Synopsis for each of your entries. 
A new Trophy has been donated this year for Dancing Contemporary Group which will be the 'Milford Family Cup' presented by Vicki Milford, Rebecca Tromans and Claire Hart

During her early years Jill entered The Sunshine All England Competitions and gained 7 solo gold medals in the London Finals receiving the Sunshine, the Modern and the National Trophies.
