Carol Gale Colchester Trophy Day – Information for Parents

Corporal Budd VC Gym, Berechurch Road, Colchester, Essex CO2 9RQ

We’ve been invited to take part in the Carol Gale Colchester Trophy Day, an ADFP freestyle competition suitable for dancers who want to try the ADFP competition pathway.

Categories the dancers will enter:

• Disco Solo

• Slow Freestyle Solo

• Disco Pairs

All categories require plain wear only (no rhinestones, sparkles, or different materials).

Please liaise with your dancer’s partner to confirm whether you would both like to take part in these categories.

Optional Extra Practice

From January we offer extra ADFP practice sessions on Tuesdays from 6.30–7.00pm, which are open to anyone wanting to compete.
These sessions are optional — the only required classes for competing are Core Class and Comp Squad Class.

Costs Involved

1. ADFP Registration – £22
This is required for all dancers entering ADFP events and covers the rest of this year.

2. Competition Tickets – £19 each
Both dancers and spectators must have a ticket to attend.

ADFP Grading System

In ADFP competitions, dancers progress through a grading system.
When dancers place well, they lose ‘lives’ or grade points, which helps them move up through the categories as they improve.
Parents can find more information on this grading system on the official ADFP website.

About ADFP Competitions

These competitions are very well run, with three judges, big trophies, and a full day of enjoyable experiences for the dancers.

Parent Decision

Parents simply need to decide whether they would like their dancer to:

• Register with ADFP for £22, and

• Attend the competition day at £19.50 per person

To register, please let me know as soon as possible. I will then email you to request the required details, send the payment link, and complete your membership.
