DanceTeam USA presents the Amateur DanceSport Circuit, together with a Circuit
of DanceSport Championships that will annually award scholarship to the Top
Junior I, Junior II, Youth and Amateur Couples in the Latin and Standard Divisions.
ALL SCHOLARSHIPS AWARDS WILL BE PRESENTED AT THE GRAND DANCESPORT CUP NOVEMBER
29th, 2009. We are joined by an innovative ranking system, instead of just focusing
on one competition result we are equally stressing competition participation.
The point system that we have created is consistent with our two goals: promoting
competition participation and awarding the couples with the greatest combined
competitive participation as well as competitive place standing throughout
the year.
