Entrants who wish to compete in the national finals of Dance Master, must first qualify for the competition by winning a regional heat.
The majority of these festivals are independently run and must apply to the IDTA in order to stage a heat of Dance Master.
To enter a regional heat, competitors must be aged 16 years or over on the day of the competition and must be amateur dancers or be in full-time training.
The national finals of Dance Master are organised by the IDTA and are held annually at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool.
