 <\/p>\n

Challenge<\/strong><\/em> : This M&M category is designed to challenge experienced dancers. If you teach in your city, are regularly in the top tier of major festivals, and have already made one or more podium finishes in competition, it’s logical that you should aim for Challenge. These criteria are indicative and possibly imprecise, so in the interests of fairness we reserve the right to submit the list to the festival instructors, and to make category changes if necessary.<\/p>\n
