A competitor’s age division is  determined  by  his  or  her  year  of  birth  in  connection  with  the date of the competition and their date of birth. While younger dancers may dance ‘up’ to the next older age group, the reverse is not possible, older dancers may not dance ‘down’ to a younger age group. It is not possible to dance up one age group in Solo Dance competitions.
