Each couple competing is assigned a number at registration, and this number is how the judges identify couples on the dance floor. A gift of $20.20 provides funds for printing all the number cards we will need the day of the competition.

A competition needs sound for the competition music and announcements for each heat and dance. A gift of $50 would cover the needed sound rental fees.

The top eight couples who place in each level for each style are awarded a ribbon. A gift of $100 provides funds for purchasing the placement ribbons.

We need a lot of space for a competition, including a dance floor with seats for spectators, a practice floor, and rooms to put up the dancers in during the day. A gift of $200 provides funds for room rental fees so that we can have all this space on campus the day of the competition.

A gift of $300 provides funds to compensate our emcee for the day. The emcee introduces the judging panel, calls out the rounds, and announces the winners during.
