Grand Jeté is happy to announce that it will not limit the number of entries per school. Grand Jeté welcomes dance students from throughout the state of South Carolina. All competitors must be attending elementary, middle, or high school in South Carolina at the time of the competition.

• Competitors must be full-time residents of the state of South Carolina to apply and to participate.
• The competition is open to dance students, ages 10–19 as of January 1 of the competition year.
• Participants do not have to compete to attend master classes.
• Proof of age and SC state residency eligibility may be requested.

Grand Jeté is an equal opportunity organization and does not discriminate based on race, nationality, age, sex, and non-disqualifying physical disability.

Deadlines

• To register to compete and submit a solo video: March 1, 2021
  
  Applications are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. A minimum number of participants may be required in order for this event to take place. Registration will close when Grand Jeté reaches its maximum capacity. Additional applicants will be placed on a waitlist.
  
  NOTE: All changes to the originally submitted entries must be received in writing seven days prior to the competition. No verbal requests will be honored. 

• Master Class Registration:
  March 1, 2021

• Teacher Workshop Registration: March 1, 2021

Categories

Note: Each student may compete in a maximum of two solos: two ballet, two Modern/Contemporary or one of each.

• Classical Ballet Solos 
  The competitor will perform a variation selected from the classical ballet repertoire list provided. 
  
  The Pre-Competitive Age Division students are allowed to modify and/or simplify the variations to fit their technical level or may select a solo that is not represented on the Repertoire list, but must be a dance age and skill-appropriate choreographed ‘classical’ ballet piece. For the safety and wellness of our Grand Jeté Competitors, we strongly discourage the Pre-Competitive participants from dancing on pointe.
• Contemporary/Modern Solos Generally, a new choreography created specifically for the competitor.
  
  Contemporary Dance is a genre of concert dance that may include principles of various dance styles such as classical and neo-classical ballet, modern dance, postmodern dance, and others. Some of the dance styles may include theoretical concepts and philosophies from pioneers such as Martha Graham, Pina Bausch, Mary Wigman, Ted Shawn, and Alvin Ailey to name a few.
  
  Competitors may perform their contemporary/ modern solo on or off pointe.
  
  Jazz and lyrical dance may be integrated, as the choreography may require. However, tap, hip hop, and similar dance is not permitted in the performance.
  
  If applicable, for original or protected choreography not in public domain, it is the responsibility of the competitor, competitor’s parent, teacher or coach to obtain all required choreographers and/or musical releases, and to pay any required royalties.

Time Limits

Ballet variation choices must be selected from Grand Jeté’s Ballet repertoire list, and contemporary/modern solos are limited to a maximum time of 2:30 minutes in length.

  The training of a ballet dancer is a progression of steps that leads to beautiful phrases of movements in different dynamics and qualities.

  This workshop will focus on the art and science of teaching classical ballet, its application to developing all forms of theatrical human movement potential, and the breaking down of various technical and performance challenges into manageable subsets. There will be ample time for questions and problem solving so participants can gain insight into the many challenges we face as teachers and the many creative solutions to them.
  
  An outline of subjects to be covered includes:
  - Creating a cohesive class structure
  - Progressions and themes

Adjudication Scoring

The use of masks will not negatively impact your score.

There will be three, out-of-state adjudicators, including Yazzmeen Laidler, from the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre; and Stephen Pier, artistic director and dance professor at The Hartt School.

The scoring system consists of an artistic element and a technical element. Each element is evaluated on a 100-point system. Each judge’s final score is then the average of the technical and artistic marks. The average score given by each of the three judges will be added together to produce a final score out of a possible 300 points.

The decision of the Adjudicators is final. The Adjudicators reserve the right to withhold awarding one or more prizes if the performances do not meet a certain standard.

Studio owners and independent competitors will receive the USB with adjudicator’s oral comments of each competitor on the day of the competition. Written comments may be included.

Grand Jeté utilizes the most advanced technology available for judging and tabulation of scores. While dancers are on stage competing, each judge will simultaneously and individually record oral critiques, comments and encouraging remarks into the state-of-the-art adjudicating software. When the competition is completed, the tabulator will record the score of the participant. Each studio will receive a USB of the critiques, comments, and encouraging remarks of the adjudicators for each of their students.
