SCHEDULING NOTIFICATIONS
Gotta Move! reserves the right to group SDT contestants of close ages from differing age categories in order to provide a competitive experience as needed. Example: Oldest Mini (9 yr old) to compete against youngest Junior (10 yr old) when there is no other equitable competition for the 2 contestants in their respective age/skill/genre categories, resulting in no more than one year age difference between the two.  
​
Gotta Move! reserves the right to combine genres of similar qualities to provide a competitive experience, ie:  Jazz/Character,  Lyrical/Ballet.

Scheduling efforts are made to separate studio classmates when SDT registration numbers deem possible.
