If, through unforeseen circumstances, a judge is unable to perform his or her duties, the Australian Dance Challenge reserves the right to appoint a substitute without notice.
« The number which each routine is assigned is basically for reference and identification purposes. We do run in numerical order, however, you may be asked to compete out of sequence in order to avoid a delay due to costume changes. Please be prepared to compete when we call your number, even though it may be a few numbers earlier than you anticipated.
