Dancer class transfer

Class transfer means moving from one competitive class to another because of progression or federation decision.

What this step is for

This step helps dancers understand when class changes happen and who confirms them.

Who owns the decision

The federation owns the class decision.

The school or club often notices the issue first.

The dancer should not assume they can choose either the old or new class freely.

How it works

  1. Review your current class status.
  2. Check whether recent results trigger progression.
  3. Confirm whether a federation decision or manual override applies.
  4. Update registration plans to use the correct class.
  5. Ask for help before entering a class that may no longer be valid.

Common reasons class transfer happens

  • points or ranking progression
  • partner or team identity changes
  • federation-approved exception handling
  • corrected history from a previous event

Common blockers

  • The dancer registers using an old class level.
  • The club and federation have different assumptions about status.
  • A manual exception exists but was not communicated clearly.

What success looks like

The dancer competes in the class the federation expects, and the change is reflected consistently in later events.

What to do in practice

  • Check your current class before registering for a new event.
  • If you changed partner, team, or competitive level, ask whether that affects class state.
  • If the club and federation seem to disagree, stop and get a confirmed answer before competing.
