Competition will consist of a two and one half (2 1/2) minute time limit.
The team may use a maximum of one minute and thirty seconds (1:30) of the three-minute time limit for music. The timing begins with the team’s first movement, voice, or note of music, whichever comes first, on the competition floor. Timing ends with the last motion, word, or beat of music. There will be an official timer at each level of competition. All participants must start in the competition area with at least one foot on the floor.
