Bronze 1 versus Bronze 2 syllabus?

What's the dividing line (NDCA preferred) between the Bronze 1 and Bronze 2 syllabus for Standard waltz? I assume Bronze 2 is full bronze and Bronze 1 is intermediate Bronze? My studio uses the DVIDA syllabus, which doesn't list a Br 1 and Br 2.

Which leads to the next question, What is "Pre-Silver"? I see it listed after Open Bronze at some comps.

Is there a translation chart available?

Thanks!

Oddly enough, sub-levels at NDCA competitions (e.g. Pre-Bronze / Intermediate Bronze / Full Bronze, etc) do not correspond to specific sub-levels of the medalist syllabus, unless otherwise specified. So if you enter in Beginning Bronze, you are allowed to dance any figure from the entire bronze syllabus.

Occasionally there are exceptions. For example, certain competitions may choose to specify that newcomers are only allowed to dance figures 1-5. I believe DVIDA has a newcomer division in certain competitions that has this rule. If you're not sure, check both the entry forms and the rules & regulations page of the competition you're considering. If you don't see a specific rule about it, it means everything in bronze (or whatever medalist level you're aiming for) is fair game.
