The dancers who register for the LIFT WORKSHOP will be placed by skill level. Depending on registration numbers, there will be either two or three levels, beginning/intermediate/advanced. The camp directors and lift coaches will have the option to move dancers to a different level after the first day.
The camp directors will check the height and weight of the participants. While this is a sensitive area, it is vital that the boys are physically capable of lifting the girls.
There is not a pre-set range of allowable height/weight, but we will have to make sure that the size ranges are compatible to successful lifting. For example, if a girl is taller or weighs more, or is close to the same, than any of the boys in the class, it won't be possible for her to participate in the class. It is not safe for either the girl or the boys in this case.
We hope that this is understood to be a matter of safety and not a matter of prejudice.
