IMPORTANT CHANGE TO EARNING STAMPS FOR BEGINNER DANCERS
The Scottish Official Board of Highland Dance recently put in place a new rule regarding stamps earned by Beginner dancers. In the past, if a Beginner dancer placed 1st, 2nd or 3rd in any of the dances in which they competed, they would earn one stamp on their dance card for that competition. As of January 1, 2011, stamps will only be awarded if a Beginner dancer places 1st, 2nd or 3rd in at least one of the following Highland dances: Fling, Sword, Seann Triubhas, Strathespey & Reel, Half Tulloch (or Half Hullachan), Special or Trophy Fling. This means if the only dance a Beginner places in are the Lilt and/or Flora, they will not earn a stamp for that competition. This new rule only affects dancers in the BEGINNER category. Novice dancers will continue to earn stamps if they win a 1st, 2nd or 3rd prize in any dance.
