CHOREOGRAPHIC COMPETITION INFORMATION

30^th April 2023

Venue: Cecil Sharp House, 2 Regents Park Road, London, NW1 7AY

This is a public building. The Cecchetti Ballet Associates cannot be held responsible for the loss or damage of any personal belongings. Please do not leave valuables unattended.

The Choreographic Competition encompasses all forms of dance with the exception of tap dancing, and we welcome all interpretations of dance. Our adjudicators are invited from a diverse area of dance and musical background and the results on the day are their personal opinion. If time allows and the adjudicator feels it is appropriate, they have the choice to comment on individual participants.

Children must try to use music by lesser-known composers therefore avoiding famous compositions. The style of music needs to interpret the theme with use of appropriate movements. Divide or join pieces of music with sensitivity to maintain a good sound quality with a clear start and end without breaking the phrasing of the music. This will allow the children to create and express themselves with a flow of movement.
