Global Info

Ready•Set•GLOBAL!
 
The Global Pro-Am Spectrum Series was formed 8 years ago by 5 Pro-Am teachers running 4 events, whose sole purpose was to direct the benefits to the Pro-Am teachers and their students. The Global Pro- Am Spectrum began In 2001, offering the highest Pro-Am prize money in the open divisions and starting scholarships in the bronze and silver levels, all the while keeping the package costs lower for the students. The Global events started giving Pro-Am parties in addition to the traditional Pro Party. The Mission was to ask what Pro-Am students and teachers wanted and structure events to that end.
The goal was to "Raise the Bar"…..
and The Global has worked very hard throughout the years to do so.
 Today the Global Commitment Continues… The Global Group recognizes that the Pro-Am competitors are the primary reason we have some many wonderful dance competitions. The "GLOBAL MISSION" is a focus on how to better serve the Pro-Am student teacher teams. You are not just another number at a Global Event! Global events were some of the first in the country to literally "roll out the red carpet" for students and pro/am teachers.
Global year end recognition for teachers and students!
    •    Teachers and Students collect points at every Global Event
    •    Get Double Points at the "Finale Event"
    •    Cash, vouchers and trophies awarded at the end of the year.
 
 The "ROTATING FINALE" Concept
Innovation is what the Global has always been about and the next new idea is the "Rotating Finale". The Global Finale event will be in a different city and at a different Global event each year beginning at the Cleveland Dancesport Challenge for 2009. Teachers and students will receive double points at the finale event… in other words any points accumulated at the Global Finale will count for the current year’s points and also for the next years points. So the finale event is the last event and the first event of the next year’s series.
 
What is a Global Scholarship?
Each event in the Global Series has special "extra" scholarship events. These are called "Global Scholarships". In short a Global Scholarship differs from a regular scholarship in 2 ways. Higher prize money and they are always danced in "Prime Time" – so when you dance your scholarship the ballroom will be full of people! Nobody likes to dance with an empty ballroom!
Over three thousand students and teachers participated in global events in 2008 and there is good reason why! IF your competition plans have not included a Global event in the past you may want to give one a try. You will probably be glad you did!
