An Opportunity/Novice dancer is a dancer who has not been placed (1^st –  4^th ) in either a Stage or a Classical discipline (either in an Opportunity/Novice or Open section) in either an ABD organised festival/competition or any other festival/competition that they have previously entered.

A decision has been made regarding sections offered by the ABD and these will be as follows:-

Competitors will be restricted to two (2) entries per age section and category.

Eg.

There will be NO Opportunity/Novice sections for Baby, Duets or Trios.

Troupes & Groups
