11/02/23 – Dance State Qualifiers Numbers Released
PrintThe number of state qualifiers from each region and each division of Dance is released in this notice. Statewide declarations supported advancers to be pro-rated by region so as not to penalize larger regions. After reviewing the declarations/withdrawals, this chart illustrates the updated number of squads per division and per region that will qualify for state competition.

A reminder to participating teams that all regional information, schedules, and instructions were released earlier this month. Please double-check the time schedules as a few changes did occur.

As a reminder to coaches, the UDA released a new rule regarding sideline boxes and the KHSAA regional and state competitions will follow this rule. The new verbiage regarding props for UDA reads: “Props cannot bear the weight of a performer. This would include sideline cheer/dance boxes that are used at games.” A sample photo of the box is shown below.
The 2023-2024 KHSAA State Dance Championships presented by UK HealthCare will be held on December 10 at George Rogers Clark High School in Winchester. After all regionals are complete, a finalized detailed time schedule will be developed for the state championships.
